Translation of the word "Dash"

[Andrej Znidarsic]

In Slovenian language team we translate something which could be translated
something like "overview board" (since it gives you overview over everything
on the system).
I think it's a good solution in our case, since "Dash" sounds too strange.

We tend to translate most english terms (in case they cannot be used in
Slovenian), but we have some exceptions, such as applet which we don't
translate (since we haven't figured out a short Slovenian replacement yet).

regards

Andrej
