I would guess that this is probably the same problem as https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/issues/595. Basically, it has nothing to do with the language, but rather the length of the strings. The English ones are shorter, hence they are not cut off on your screen. However, they will likely be cut off also if you had a lower resolution or a narrower screen.

For the record, many Android applications have this problem. Some are straight unusable on low-resolution phones because of this. The "workaround" is to change your screen orientation to landscape, at least temporarily, and then you will probably be able to see the whole strings.
