I have done localization of my app. The problem that I’m facing is that, a single line of text may be 2 lines in chinese or some other language. It would be easier if the text blocks or buttons would increase the size according to the size of the text.
Is there any way out for this? Else I would have to fix the length and width to the maximum used by the language, but then some languages may not use up so much space and it will look odd.

    Rather than using fixed width / height, it is better to create a layout which allows the TextBlock to adjust its width. For example, if you have a two column layout, setting the column widths to Auto will cause the column to grow to accomodate its widest element:

    <Grid Width="200">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <TextBlock Text="This is a label:"/>
    <TextBox Text="This is a value" Grid.Column="1"/>
</Grid>
