Yeah, I just noticed a misalignment in Vietnamese translation (just
two spaces to the left, hard to notice unless paying attention).

First of all, #include "utf8.h" is required for utf8_strwidth().

The "strlen(s) - 2" is quite sensitive to how "s" is written. How
about this? A bit longer but clearer. Your version is OK too with a
comment explaining "strlen(s) - 2".

While looking at parse-options.c, I notice "-NUM" is not marked for
translation. I think you might want to mark it so that you can
translate "NUM" to a similar abbreviation in a local language. A
similar patch like this is required so we get columns for "-NUM"
translation instead of the number of bytes.
