As for your potential problem with localisation making your labels break the layout if they are longer than how you have them for one locale: the best way around this is to increase the space between your rows, so that the labels can line-break gracefully and still look good.
Looking at the comps you did above, the spacing between row is pretty tight to start with, and a bit intimidating visually. Letting a bit more white space in the wouldn't hurt, and would probably be helpful anyway for longer labels.
Another solution could be having the form element labels within the actual form elements themselves, and would go away when a user clicks inside the element to input data.
