            Bug ID: 131233
           Summary: improve UX around info message "Missing hyphenation
                    info - please install the hyphenation package for
                    locale "de".
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: lo at disr.it

Description:
When I open LibreOffice 6.4.1.2 I see the error message:
"Missing hyphenation info - please install the hyphenation package for locale
"de".

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a writer file (with german text and a few "-")

Actual Results:
Error message is shown when document is opened.

Expected Results:
The eror message is not actionable and not helpful to users in its current
form.

Searching the help is not useful:
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/swriter/guide/using_hyphen.html

The error message should probably be rephrased? In it's current form it is not
clear this is about a missing extension.

Also users are not informed how to resolve the problem and where to look for
which information.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
installing the following extension solved the problem:
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/german-de-de-frami-dictionaries

Unsure how I ended up in that state - in my case, I didn't have any german
dictionary at all.
