It's annoying, yes!! The locallang_ttc.xml has a bug:

 ...
  <label index="image_noRows_formlabel">Horizontal Rows</label>
  <label index="image_noRows.I.0">Deactivate</label>
  <label index="image_noRows_formlabel">Display as Rows</label>
 ...

So the label is translated twice. The idea of this checkbox is displayed
in an example here:

http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/cron_cssstyledimgtext/0.4.1/view/1/3/

Search for "noRows" on this page and see the screenshot. This setting is
still there for "backwards compatibility", I am also pretty sure most
users don't use it.. But it had to be transported from the old
table-based-IMGTEXT during the table-less migration in 4.0 back in the days.

Maybe you can share a better label for this setting? Perhaps:

  Align by Columns instead of Rows => [ ] Enable

Maybe we should provide a sample of the result in the CSH longInfo?

Cheers,
