Research direction

Start by reading the linked pull-request discussion and the Mozilla l10n best-practices guidance. The issue lists several possible directions—hyphenation, layout guidance, and a truncate utility—but does not identify files, tests, or a decided scope; done would require a maintainer decision on which direction to pursue.
