To summarise Joseph's report:
- Opening document shows the banner about needing a hyphenation dictionary
- Joseph is unsure which extension is suitable, downloads one that sounds like
it could help
- Installing the extension warned the user about security aspect, which is
expected: one has to trust the source of the extension. This is standard when
installing anything.
Joseph, I am having a hard time understanding what the issue is.
My explanations and recommendations:
- The software tells you that it is missing a dictionary that tells it how to
hyphenate English words properly. (This happens when the document contains text
that is hyphenated at the end of a line, to break words in two, which can be
set up in Format > Paragraph > Text flow.)
- Installing the relevant dictionary should make the information banner
disappear. You found the right one, but I don't know why you ended up with such
an old version (from 2018). Please install the most recent version on the page
(from 2023):
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/english-dictionaries
- It is not possible the remove the extension because it comes bundled with
LibreOffice (which is why there is a little lock icon next to it). It is
however possible to update it.
What exactly is the problem?
Do you still see the warning even after installing the latest version of the
dictionary? Or are you reporting that the user is not guided enough in the
process?
Please also paste here the information from Help > About LibreOffice.
Thank you!
