[TLE <k.nielsen81@xxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

At the top level of the settings in unity-control-center it seems that
the text below the buttons easily runs out of space in more long winded
languages (that tend to oncatenate words) like e.g. Danish or German.

This has let e.g. to this bug report against the Danish translation:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/fjel/+bug/1371908

But really, without any information about how much space is available or
how to write the strings to make then wrap (e.g. will they wrap at a
'-') it is difficult make them right without first seeing them fail.

So, could you please add translator comments to all strings at the top
level, where this is the case, that describes roughly how much space is
present and how to make words warp.

Thanks in advance.
