Not quite sure how to get “Hyphen” working with “LibreOffice”

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
# vim # Do not forget to add an editor to edit configuration.nix! The Nano editor is also installed by default.

I have the same issue. Libreoffice never complained about hyphenation until today.
I now also have
libreoffice
hyphen
hunspell
hunspellDicts.en_US
installed and libreoffice still complains. Previously, i didn’t have hyphen installed and libreoffice didn’t complain.
From the LibreOffice entry on ArchWiki, it seems like both the hyphen package and the hyphen-en language hyphen rule set have to be installed. Nixpkgs does not have the hyphen-en rule set packaged. While the way LibreOffice performs lookups for these rule sets is unclear, I’ll try to package them and see how it goes.

@kotatsuyaki Thanks for looking into it. Did you make any progress on this?
The solution is to use hyphenDicts:
[
libreoffice
hyphenDicts.de_DE
]
There are currently only English and Germany languages, but you can copy mkDictFromLibreofficeGit from
mkDictFromLibreofficeGit =
{
subdir,
shortName,
shortDescription,
dictFileName,
readmeFileName,
}:
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
version = "24.8";
pname = "hyphen-dict-${shortName}-libreoffice";
src = fetchgit {
url = "https://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/libreoffice/dictionaries.git";
rev = "a2bf59878dd76685803ec260e15d875746ad6e25";
hash = "sha256-3CvjgNjsrm4obATK6LmtYob8i2ngTbwP6FB4HlJMPCE=";
};
meta = with lib; {
description = "Hyphen dictionary for ${shortDescription} from LibreOffice";
homepage = "https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Dictionaries";
license = with licenses; [ mpl20 ];
show original
And use like

For some reason README file for Russian has different naming upstream, therefore… `readmeFileName` for all languages was changed to accommodate both naming schemes. I'm not sure if there is a cleaner way to handle this, other than report it upstream and wait for patch to be merged. Also, is this an update to `hyphen` package or to `hyphenDicts`...dictionary of packages?
I've tested this with
```nix
{
nixpkgs.overlays = let
pkgs = import inputs.ru-hyphen {inherit system;};
in [(_: _: {inherit (pkgs) hyphenDicts;})];
}
```
