Bug ID: 86704
Summary: GUI: CALC: Alignment tab of Format Cells dialogue
should provide information about language settings
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.3.4.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice

When I turn hyphenation on I expect to see hyphenation. There may be sound
reasons why this cannot work as expected, e.g. because the language setting
does not support hyphenation. In this case the user interface should give some
feedback that explains the cause of the problem ("Your language setting
'[None]' does not support hyphenation.") and provides some hints what to do
about ("You can change the language setting ... there ...").
How to reproduce:
In Calc, open the "Format Cells" dialogue either using Format -> Cells
(starting from the main menu) or pressing CTRL+1. Open the "Font" tab and set
the language to "[None]". Open the "Alignment" tab. Check "Wrap text
automatically" and then "Hyphenation active".
Current behaviour:
It is possible to activate these controls without any further feedback despite
the fact that hyphenation cannot work with the given language setting.
Expected behaviour:
The UI provides easy access to the information that is necessary to assess if
checking the "Hyphenation active" control will work as expected. Maybe just add
a label near the "Hyphenation active" check box that displays the current
language. As the language might not be what the user expected and not all
languages support hyphenation, there should be some hints pointing to the
location where the language setting can be changed and an information that
tells the user if hyphenation is supported or not.
