The problem here is long word, wich in some languages is made by just 
joning other words into one, like "Alfabetiseringsrutine" (Filing 
Routine) and "Normaliseringsregel" (Normalization rule). Those also did 
not fit in their boxes :-/ I think such words should be permitted by 
accepting longer words without cutting them of and thus giving better 
possibilities for the translators to make it right.
(I can't remember where we found those strings in the GUI).

Another problem we found was:

The string:
Browse by last name: <a1>A</a> <a2>B</a> <a3>C</a> <a4>D</a> <a5>E</a>
<a6>F</a> <a7>G</a> <a8>H</a> <a9>I</a> <a10>J</a> <a11>K</a> <a12>L</a>
<a13>M</a> <a14>N</a> <a15>O</a> <a16>P</a> <a17>Q</a> <a18>R</a>
<a19>S</a> <a20>T</a> <a21>U</a> <a22>V</a> <a23>W</a> <a24>X</a>
<a25>Y</a> <a26>Z</a>

can not be translated properly because we are not allowed to add more
letters, thus our Norwegian letters Æ, Ø, and Å can only be fit in by
joining more than one letter somewhere, for instance by writing:

<a2>B--C</a> instead of separating those two, and thus having one ax
free. But I consider that a bad work around and not a fix :-(
