Hyphenation rules differ between languages. To automatically guess where a word can be hyphenated, you need to have the relevant extension installed. If the rules are missing, an error message or banner will be displayed.<br>
Hyphenation rules are often bundled with dictionaries and installed with LibreOffice depending on the language you picked. If they are missing, you can find relevant extensions by searching for "hyphenation" on the <a target="_blank" href="https://extensions.libreoffice.org/">Extensions website</a>.<br>
