[Bug 1016076] Re: No hyphenation support in the dash
Unduping.
That bug is about desktop file names, this is about (localized) values of the Name key in the desktop files.
** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 803664
Desktop file directories under $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications/* don't support hyphen in name

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.
