Bug Description

Opening a document which had active hyphenation (different installation of LO) on a machine where LO lacks relevant hyphenation packages results in substantial changes in formatting -- usually larger interword-spaces and paragraphs taking more lines than they did before. There is no hint that hyphenation for that particular language is not available; unless the user gives detailed look to discover no hyphenation at all, he/she may quickly come to the conclusion that the document or LO installation is "broken".

Writer should show some (non-intrusive) message that hyphenation for the language is not available and what should be done to activate it.
