(1) (unrelated) somehow, this (and same link in EditModules) does not work for
me in Version: 7.5.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 36ccfdc35048b057fd9854c757a8b67ec53977b6
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

(2) I generally dislike, that the only thing in *UI* points to the *extensions*
site ( https://extensions.libreoffice.org/dictionaries/ ), where there are lots
of *unmaintained* third-party extensions, while for *most* cases, the
distribution itself contains a (not installed) package for the needed language,
and it should be the first thing to suggest.

(3) Dictionaries do not necessarily include hyphenation data, and not all of
them clearly communicate that. So even if this link is provided, a notice would
be nice, telling "look for a respective dictionary extension *containing
hyphenation data*".
