# Appendix E. LanguageTool plugin

## 1. Introduction

LanguageTool is an Open Source style and grammar proofreading software for English, French, German, Polish, Dutch, Romanian, and a number of other languages - see the list of supported languages.

You can think of LanguageTool as a software to detect errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect, e.g. mixing up there/their, no/now etc. It can also detect some grammar mistakes. It does not include spell checking. LanguageTool will find errors for which a rule has been defined in its language-specific configuration files.

## 2. Installation and Use

The LanguageTool plugin is included in OmegaT. It will be used automatically by OmegaT if Options > Language Checker is checked. The rules applied (if any) will depend on the source and target language of the project. When a rule is triggered, the corresponding phrase will be underlined in blue in the Editor (see also and I didn't do nothing in the picture above). When hovering the mouse over the underlined phrase, an explanation will appear.

### Incompatibilities

LanguageTool will not work properly if an old version is found in the /plugin folder. Remove LanguageTool from the /plugin folder before starting OmegaT.
