Sure it has. If LO can know when an update is available, it can know whether hyphenation patterns are available. But even if you were to argue it shouldn't actively go look for the hyphenation patterns for the locale(s) you use - it should still do so if you ask it to, i.e. it will tell you you're missing patterns, and when you click, it will either get them for you, or tell you they're missing. Not as great, but better than what we have now. > And it can't do that. And tells. Nothing wrong at all. If this were an _error_ message, that would be a different matter. But it isn't. It leads the user to believe that they can get those hyphenation patterns. > And - well, unless you require that all language modules are installed > unconditionally (which I personally would welcome, but many would hate), > there's no way to even point to downloads, because it may be not > downloadable, but installable - from the MSI on Windows; from packages on > Debian... I'll again make the analogy regarding LO updates. Yes, this may be difficult/impossible/distribution-specific. In those case, we should offer an easy customization point for distributors, plus, we should make some effort to help the user get what they need. That is, depending on how LO was installed and/or what we know about the OS/DE, we should point the user to the closest thing possible to a download link. If it's one of our packages - then it would be to a corresponding package of the same kind for hyphenation patterns; if not - the packagers will change this to something which suits them. Anyway, let's see what the UX design, umm, ad-hoc per-meeting committee thinks about this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
