Thank you for pointing out this, Kelemen.  However I don't know how to
include a newline when the string isn't already considered multiline in
Launchpad.  How is this done?

TLE is right that this is an i18n error which must be fixed in unity.
But I guess we can patch it for now.  Presumably the fix will be to add
proper translator comments on the maximum length of each of the strings.

Title:
  Titles in primary Unity screen wrongfully hyphenated in Danish

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In the primary Unity screen there are 8 buttons, for different kinds
  of programs and certain recommended programs. One of these buttons is
  the one for internet programs. In Danish this is made into a single
  word and it is then to wide to fit in the space alloted, which leads
  to Unity dividing the word at the letter where there is no more space,
  instead of dividing the word according to the grammatic rules (See
  attached screenshot).

  Proposed solution:
  Allow translators to put a hyphen in the word where it should be divided, and follow that in Unity.

  E.g. instead of translating it to:
  "Internetprogrammer"
  we would translate it to
  "Internet-programmer"
  and Unity should then show it as:
  "Internet-
  programmer"
