I haven't become involved with the DDTP temporary frontend, since I'm waiting for the Pootle integration, but I'm happy to test anything for you. Our language works well as a test case for Unicode support etc. (which is a tactful way of saying it tends to break things ;) ).
As far as word wrap is concerned, our language is all monosyllabic words, so it provides more opportunities for breaking the line than languages with longer/polysyllabic words. In any case, we discourage breaking any of the words: we have enough diacritics to take in visually without additional hyphens and breaking the reading line.
