You can try increasing the width of the submission dialog. You can find the Maya submission dialog script by navigating to \your\repository\scripts\Submission\Submit_Maya_To_Deadline, and opening the Submit_Maya_To_Deadline.vbs file. Near the top, there is a line that should look like:
dialog.SetSize 450, 822
The first parameter (450) is the width of the dialog. Try increasing it to something like 500 or 550. If that doesn’t work, it might be because of the “chinese-simplified” language setting. Have you tried using the Maya integrated submission script, which allows you to submit jobs from directly inside Maya? The instructions for installing it can be found here:

It uses Maya’s native melscript language, so it might not be affected by the different language.

well, i modified the parameter,but the button position is relative to the dialog width .increase the dialog width ,button position goes far away and never show!
If it is the problem of incompatible with OS language(double byte language),i think your company should fix this software bug
we do not want to open every maya scene file and submit with mel
other job submissions have same problem, 3dsMax or other.
The solution to this problem might be for us to move away from vbscript for our submission dialogs. We’ve run into language issues with it in the past, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the root of the problem. When we eventually port Deadline to other OS’s, we’ll likely move to Python, but we’ll have to wait and see if that will actually fix the issue.
In the meantime, we’ll see if we can find a near term solution.

Thanks for your reply!
I think it's not very difficute to fix, try to get support from microsoft on vb. you know, 1.3 billion Chinese people are waiting, haha !
I’ve written a Maya submission script using Python and wxPython which you can use as an alternative until we figure out this problem. It can be used as an example to write other submission scripts for 3dsmax, Fusion, etc.
It requires that you install Python and the wxPython runtime, which you can download from these two links (note that I’ve tested it with Python 2.4):
http://www.python.org/download/
http://www.wxpython.org/download.php
Both websites also provide documentation.
To run the script, you can just double-click on it (providing that python the default application to launch .py files). You could also just type “python.exe SubmitToMaya.py” in the command prompt.
Hope this works for now!
