LOL guys I'm totally confused now. Which is it? The outcome I want is that when I get this in Launchpad:

System Settings
Roghainnean an t-siostaim

the result for the user on screen is
Roghainnean
an t-siostaim

or at least

Roghainnean an
t-siostaim

NOT as it currently is:
Roghainnean an t-
siostaim


Either approach suggested to date is fine by me but I'd kind of like to know which one works before I go changing a lot, seeing there's only 1 l10n update a year, I can't very well experiment ;)

Can you tell from where this translation is (PO-file)?

If it is from .desktop file, open it (the file can be usually found in /usr/share/applications) in the text editor ("gksudo gedit" in the Terminal) and try to experiment with Name[gd] line. You need to logout then login for the changes to take effect.

If it is from the general translations (saved in /usr/share/locale/gd) try to edit and recompile it with CLI or PoEdit.

It is better to use Anders Jenbo advice to achieve what you want now.


It should be \x00AD (U+00AD, soft hyphen, shy).

A soft hyphon hints that a word can be broaken and a hyphon inserted,
pretty much the opposed of what Michael seams to want here.

You need to insert the actual charector - . If you don't have a keyboard
combination for typing it then save it to a text file for handy use in
the future.
