Hm this looks more like an issue with the dictionary (hyphenation info missing). With German locale, everything works fine. When I install this hungarian dictionary, hypenation also works: https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/hu_dicts
On Ubuntu, installing the package "hyphen-hu" fixes this for me. On Windows, when selecting the Hungarian language support in the msi installer, hyphenation also works. So this is not really a bug, but maybe the situation can be improved by informing the user about the missing dictionary/hypenation package.
Hi Samuel Thanks for taking a look at this. It may very well the case that we made a mistake here and tested Hungarian hyphenation with SI-GUI nightly or bibisect builds, which apparently lack full localization support. I checked the paragraph properties and indeed hyphenation is checked on Paragraph -> Text Flow. Feel free to close this as NAB.
Samuel Mehrbrodt committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/c7c5f24f12c241cb72810abe596337e809138df0 tdf#121657 Show warning when no hyphenation info available for current lang It will be available in 6.4.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
So with above commit I added a warning when hyphenation can't be executed due to missing hyphenation info. This could be expanded by putting a user visible warning in an infobar (see bug 128191).
