Title:
  No hyphenation support in the dash

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in Unity:
  New

Bug description:
  The dash does not support hyphenation of long application names. There
  were already some bugs complaining at least partially about this, see
  bug #1015446, bug #900722 and its follow up bug #900722. The latter
  proposes:

  2b) Alternatively consult a hyphenation/grammar lib for the language
  in question. I don't think this is a good solutions as it would add a
  potentially large dependency for Unity, and may not include the
  necessary hyphenation rules anyway, and finally may not make the
  nicest break point even though it follows the rules (E.g. the Danish
  Internetprogrammer could grammatically be broken at "Internetprogram-
  mer" but for a "head line" type string such as this, it would be nicer
  to break it in between the two words it consist of i.e. "Internet-
  programmer").

  What do you think about using a hyphenation library in unity? The
  screenshots from mentioned bugs look quite ugly, I think something
  needs to be done.
