How long does German copy run?
Running text
25-35% longer than the English source
German compound nouns are long and break only at a hyphenation point, so a headline that wraps cleanly in English can overrun the same box.
Screenshot headlines
Screenshot copy is a short string, and short strings swing hardest: published figures put a translation of a source under 10 characters at 200-300% of its length, falling to about 130% once the source runs past 70 characters.

The checker on a real pair
English: Everything in one app
German: Alles, was du für deinen Alltag brauchst, an einem einzigen Ort, jederzeit und überall
Overflows even at the shrink floor. A full German sentence overruns the same box even at the 70% shrink floor: shorten it or widen the box.
