I'm attaching a screenshot of what it looks like in Hungarian. The
effect is different, but I'm adding in case it's part of the same bug

Title:
  Heading text is not internationalization-friendly

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Have a look at the header in the screenshot, with Software Center
  having been run with a Catalan locale.

  It seems that the width of the "Our star apps" text in the header of
  Software Center is limited to the width of the actual text in English,
  making any longer strings "overflow" and be written over the tagline.

  It would be great to either not limit the width (or limit it to a
  greater value), or let the header grow vertically to allow 2 lines in
  the heading. If that's not possible, at least a translator comment in
  the string specifying the max. width would be really useful as a
  temporary workaround.

  In any case, I expect this to affect many languages, as translations
  cannot often be as short as the original English strings.

  Thanks.
