Multi-language visualforce table display

I have a visualforce to be rendered as pdf. It displays child records in a table. The language of the rendered pdf is based on a picklist from the parent record.
When the language is set to english, the table displays fine:
english table in pdf
When the language is set to german, the table displays distorted:
german table in pdf
The respective excerpt of my vf source code:

        <table rules="rows" styleClass="table" cellpadding="4px">
            <tr>
                <td colspan="5"  style="font-weight:bold; text-align: left;font-size:11pt;"> {!$ObjectType.Discussion_Points__c.label}</td>
            </tr>

            <!-- Due_Date__c, Internal_use_only__c, No__c, Responsible_contact__c, Responsible_selection__c, Responsible_user__c, Subject__c, Summary__c, Trip_Report__c, Name   -->                                       
            <apex:repeat value="{!TripRepPoints}" var="item">
                <apex:outputpanel rendered="{!NOT(item.internal_use__c)}" >
                    <tr>
                        <td class="col1"><apex:outputfield value="{!item.Name}" /></td>
                        <td class="col34"><apex:outputfield value="{!item.Category__c}" /></td>
                        <td class="col2"><apex:outputfield value="{!item.Summary__c}" /></td>
                        <td class="col34"><apex:outputfield value="{!item.Responsible_company__c}" /></td>
                        <td class="col34"><apex:outputfield value="{!item.Due_Date__c}" /></td>
                    </tr>
                </apex:outputpanel>
            </apex:repeat>
        </table>

And the related css:
.col1 {
 width: 15%;
 vertical-align: top;
 font-weight: bold;
 font-size: 10pt; 
 border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
 }
.col2 {
 border-left: 1px solid #CCC;
 border-right: 1px solid #CCC;
 border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
 width: 40%;
 font-size: 10pt; 
 vertical-align:top;
 
 }
.col34 {
 border-left: 1px solid #CCC;
 border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
 width: 15%;
 font-size: 10pt; 
 vertical-align:top;
 }

Maybe anyone has an idea why this happens?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Miriam,

instead of the field name, you can write the text in the head of the table:
e. g.: <apex:outputText value="Subject" /> or only Subject

In a multi language environment I can't use static texts, so your suggestion might not help. Am Mittwoch, 21. Januar 2015 schrieb Salesforce Developer Community :

Can you use an IF- or Case-function for the outputtext?
