Shows how to open and register a dictionary from a file.

    // No warnings detected

    // Open a document with a German locale that might not get automatically hyphenated by Microsoft Word an english machine
    Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Unhyphenated German text.docx");

    // To hyphenate that document upon saving, we need a hyphenation dictionary for the "de-CH" language code
    // This callback will handle the automatic request for that dictionary

    // When we save the document, it will be hyphenated according to rules defined by the dictionary known by our callback
    doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Hyphenation.RegisterDictionary.pdf");

    // This dictionary contains two identical patterns, which will trigger a warning
    Assert.AreEqual(1, warningInfoCollection.Count);
    Assert.AreEqual(WarningType.MinorFormattingLoss, warningInfoCollection[0].WarningType);
    Assert.AreEqual(WarningSource.Layout, warningInfoCollection[0].Source);

                    "Content can be wrapped differently.", warningInfoCollection[0].Description);
