Description Thomas Lendo 2021-06-04 09:09:02 UTC
If hyphenation is activated in a document with for example Chinese text, then a yellow infobar / warning message appears at every time you open the document.

Issue 1:
This infobar is useless for languages without any hyphenation concept

Issue 2:
The user don't know what to do with this information. A hyperlink to a download page would be best for usability.

Hm, there was a Bug 132396 >"Missing hyphenation info" pop-up banner displayed for Chinese which has no concept of hyphenation<  but it was closed as a dupe of a Google Docs issue?!

Issue with missing further information or hyperlink is already mentioned in bug 131233.

Yes, I believe your screenshot in comment #1 is the same problem as bug 132396: the language of the text is specified as "zh" instead of the more specific "zh-cn" or "zh-tw".

I don't believe documents created by LibreOffice itself will have this language specification.

#1 is apparently bug 132396 and #2 bug 131233.
