Description Yotam Benshalom 2021-03-05 10:08:05 UTC 
After last updates, Autocorrect on writer and calc stopped working for many languages (Hebrew and Arabic included). 

Steps to reproduce:

On a paragraph marked as Hebrew, type -- and then space.

Expected result:
The chrachters are replaced by an en-dash: –
Actual result:
The chrachters are not replaced

The replacement tables, accessed through Tools->Autoformat->Autocorrect, are now empty for those languages (but not for others). Custom entries added to those empty tables do not work either.
