A. is compact when written but can lengthen considerably when translated into English
B. are compact when they are written, but they can lengthen considerably when they are translated in English
C. is compact when written but can lengthen considerably when being translated into English
D. are compact when written but can lengthen considerably in English translation
E. is compact when it is written but can lengthen considerably when translated in English
Of course, A, C, and E can be dropped for SV number agreement fault. B can be dropped primarily due to its lack of concision. and in a lesser way, the pronoun 'they' may be argued to ambiguously refer to the inflections rather than the languages.D is the chosen answer as per the conventions of sub-verb number agreement.
P.S: a little bit of theory here.

Remember the norms about the "one of the" constructs".

GMATDemiGod,
B is not parallel. We want languages that *are* compact but *can* lengthen (both starred words are parallel verbs). "They" isn't just wordy or unneeded--it breaks parallelism. Also, "translated in English" is not idiomatic. Something can be translated *into* English, or it can exist in an English translation, but we don't translate "in English." It makes it appear as if the entire translation takes place within one language, which doesn't make sense.
D fixes both of these issues.
