Hyphenation Error Message

Version: 7.0.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: dcf040e67528d9187c66b2379df5ea4407429775
CPU threads: 8
OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

My installed (bundled) dictionary, contributed by Marco A. G. Pintp is:
English spelling dictionaries, hyphenation rules, thesaurus, and grammar
checker 2020.05.01
English dictionaries for OpenOffice/LibreOffice 4.0+.
It includes:
- en_AU (Australian) (updated: 2019-10-06)
- en_CA (Canadian) (updated: 2019-10-06)
- en_G8 (British) (updated: 2020-05-01)
- en.US (American) (updated: 2019-10-06)
- en.ZA (South African) (updated: 2012-07-10)

Upon opening a Writer document with the language set to en-US I get this
information bar error message:

<Q>Missing hyphenation data Please install the hyphenation package for
locale “en“.</Q>

Would someone kindly point me to the location where we are hiding this
mysterious hyphenation package, or explain why this should suddenly
appear for no obvious reason?

TIA
Dave

I haven't changed anything while committing to Gerrit except the versions and .dic, .aff and readme files.

I have been doing it for several years already, so I don't know what happened.

Could you try with the latest version?:
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/english-dictionaries (still pending moderation)
https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict

But, of course, if there is an issue with LibreOffice built-in, we need to know what is happening.

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Hi Marco,

I never thought for one moment that your dictionaries were responsible
for this issue. I did try your latest version, but got the same error
message.

It's getting late here, so I will test this document with some
alternative options (eg. Linux, AOO, other LO versions, etc.) and report
back tomorrow.

Best Regards
Dave

Sorry, I haven't really been following, but is the distinction between
an 'en' locale and an 'en.US' locale important; and why do some
dictionary locales use '_' as a separator and others use '.'?

It is possible to disable this fake error message by enabling "Options
-> Language Settings -> Writing Aids -> Libhyphen Hyphenator".

I do not want or need hyphenation turned on. So what is the alternative
to block this fake message?
