Exactly.  It's not possible to create a single nib such that its layout and control sizes will be appropriate for every language.

Beyond control sizes being different, I've also found the following things to consider between flavors of your nibs:

* Font size and/or style may need to change.
* Directionality would need to change (if localizing to right-to-left languages)
