Can you give me an example, please?  I am not 100% sure what you mean by
'to take care of the length of the strings' - as that is something that
the translators can influence, not the authors of the dialogs...

One way to decrease the roundtrip there is to teach the translators how
to modify the dialogs.

It is not hard; I've just put together a wiki page how to do that,
please let me know if the instructions are clear enough - the best would
be if you can try to follow them for a dialog that does not behave well,
and let me know what was not clear [or update the page if you find your
way :-)]:

All the best,
