is hyphenation the only word right for this?

Explanation:
hyphen - знак переноса, hyphenation - перенос слов

Еще можно сказать word division, но это, так же, как и syllabification означает не перенос слов, а их деление на слоги.

А вообще-то, хорошо бы знать, о чем речь (Люди! Ну почему вы не даете контекста, а вынуждаете нас заниматься гаданием?!) Может, в данном случае подошло бы line wrapping, например, если речь о переносе текста в следующую строку?

Maximal attention should be paid to the words that may be moved into a new line when the width of the browser\'s window is changed. Nobody knows how a sentence will be split into lines, therefore all possible cases should be taken into consideration.

спасибо огромное.
впредь постараюсь быть менее самоуверенной и выдавать контекст любыми силами, потому как вот же -- правильный hyphenation, а не пригодился. %)
спасибо всем!!

Кстати, в английском перенос осуществляется не только по слогам.
There are two basic approaches, phonetic (in terms of syllable structure) and morphological (in terms of word structure).

Just for the sake of discussion:

Word division and syllabification are incomplete. They tell one that words are somehow divided into syllables or otherwise but not for what purpose and not that parts of words are transferred to the next line.

diana bb: hyphenation is broader than word-division. A twenty-year-old chap is also hyphenated, but not exactly divided or syllabified.

-> You are correct. But this is the word most commonly used and understood not only by linguists but by lay people as well. Ergo...

David Mitchell: Technically, hyphenation is the act of typographically formalizing a division or compounding by insertion of a hyphen. Both uses imply that the division existed at some orthographic level previously, so that the most general term would be division.

syllabication

Explanation:
Also commonly used by linguists.
Hyphenation is somewhat different - although used to separate syllables, it is also used to separate the parts of compound words, to link the words of a phrase.

mtovbin is right BUT...

Explanation:
... you have to ensure that it it clear from the context that you mean breaking a word at the end of the line rather than compound words which are also hyphenated. Below is a paragraph on hyphenation which uses different ways to describe the process, such as "divide words", "line break" etc.

"To achieve an even edge, words must occasionally be broken at line ends, according to the following guidelines:

Divide words only between their syllables. (Check the American Heritage Dictionary if you're not sure where the appropriate breaks are.) One-syllable words may not be divided.

If a compound word already includes a hyphen, divide only at the existing hyphen or do not divide at all.

Don't divide a word in a way that leaves only one letter at the end of a line.

Don't divide a word in a way that positions only one or two letters at the beginning of a line.

Avoid stacking more than three hyphens in a row at the ends of lines.

In general, avoid last lines of paragraphs that consist of one word or one partial word. (One-word last lines are allowable within narrow text blocks.)"

Hope this helps!

перенесены на новую строчку = carried over to a new line

Explanation:
simply that.

it is not a matter of hyphenating or breaking words up, but simply that a sentence might take up three lines if the window is resized, rather than two, with the consequence that a word that appeared on line 1 would appear on line 2, and so forth, requiring the appearance of new lines.

Changing the size of window does not break up individual words, it only changes the line division
