<p class="firstpara"><strong>An Open Source style and grammar checker for English, French, German, Polish,
Dutch, Romanian, and <?=show_link("other languages", "languages/", 0) ?>.</strong>
You can think of LanguageTool as a software to detect errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect, e.g. mixing
up <em>there/their</em>, <em>no/now</em> etc. It can also detect some grammar mistakes. It does not include spell checking.</p>
<p>LanguageTool will only find errors for which a rule is defined in its
XML configuration files. Rules for more complicated errors can be written in Java.</p>

<p><strong>2010-02-20:</strong>

<h2>Installation and Usage</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>In OpenOffice.org</strong>:
Double click <tt>LanguageTool-1.2.oxt</tt> to install it.
If that doesn't work, call <em>Tools -> Extension Manager -> Add...</em>
to install it. Close OpenOffice.org and re-start it. Type some text
with an error (e.g. "This is an test." – make sure the text language is set
to English) and you should see a blue underline.</li>
<li>Also see <?=show_link("Usage", "usage/", 0)?> for using LanguageTool outside of OpenOffice.org.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="commonproblems"><strong>Common problems with OpenOffice.org integration</strong></a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Did you restart OpenOffice.org - including the QuickStarter - after installation of LanguageTool? This is required,
even if OpenOffice.org doesn't say so. (<a href="http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88692">Issue 88692</a>)</li>
<li>LanguageTool installation fails if the name of your user account contains
special characters. The only workaround so far seems to be to use a different
user account. (<a href="http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=95162">Issue 95162</a>)</li>
<li>Make sure <a href="http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp">Java 5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems</a>
is installed on your system. Java versions which are not from Sun Microsystems may not work.</li>
<li>Make sure this version of Java is selected in OpenOffice.org
(under <em>Tools -> Options -> Java</em>).</li>
<li>If LanguageTool doesn't start and you see no error message, please
check if the extension is enabled in the Extension manager
(under <em>Tools -> Extension Manager</em>).</li>
<li>On Ubuntu, when you get an error message during installation, you might need to
install the <tt>openoffice.org-java-common</tt> package. See
<a href="http://nancib.wordpress.com/2008/05/03/fixing-the-openofficeorg-grammar-glitch-in-ubuntu-hardy/">this blog posting</a>
for details.</li>
<li>The menu items in OpenOffice.org get mixed up when both <a href="http://open.afterthedeadline.com/">After the Deadline</a>
and LanguageTool are installed. This issue is tracked as <a href="http://openatd.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/215">ticket #215 at After the Deadline</a>.</li>
<li>LanguageTool didn't work together with the <a href="http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/DeltaXMLODTCompare">DeltaXML
ODT Compare</a> extension - use version 1.2.0 of DeltaXML ODT Compare, which fixes the problem.</li>
<li>If you get a message "Can not activate the factory for com.sun.star.help.HelpIndexer because java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/lucene/analysis/cjk/CJKAnalyzer":
this was a bug In OpenOffice.org 3.1, it was fixed in version 3.2 (<a href="http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=98680">Issue 98680</a>)</li>
<li style="margin-top:8px">If these hints don't help, please email <strong>naber at danielnaber de</strong> describing the problem
and letting me know which version of LanguageTool, OpenOffice.org and which operating system you are using.</li>
