Description

Check your translation for style and grammar problems. LanguageTool Plugin is a verification module, which is used to check grammar, spelling, and linguistic errors in the translation. This plug-in integrates the LanguageTool grammar checker into Trados Studio and enables proofreading and grammar checking. 


LanguageTool is an Open Source proofreading program for English, French, German, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Catalan, Spanish, Ukrainian and more than 30 other languages. It finds many errors and grammar issues that a simple spell checker cannot detect. To work with a local server you need to install JRE (Java) and download the desktop version of LanguageTool for offline use. Plug-in supports also online public and premium LanguageTool servers.


Instructions and current user guide are inside the app, once downloaded. Please open Studio-> Project Settings-> Verification-> LanguageTool - Grammar and Spell Checker.

The plug-in searches for the selected text in the default web browser. Just select the text in Studio and press Ctrl-W (or Ctrl-Shift-W for exact search) or click the button on the ribbon, and the search results will appear in a new tab in your web browser. You can select the text in the source or target column, and you can also configure the search engine provider (Google, Bing, etc.). The plug-in is especially recommended for people for whom Web Lookup is too big thing and AHK scripts are too complicated.

Now you can check active Studio project in Xbench 2.9 with just one-click. You no longer need to create a new Xbench project or add files to a project manually. The Xbench 2.9 Plugin creates Xbench projects, adds files from an active Studio project and runs Xbench automatically for you. Then, just click 'Check Ongoing Translation' in the Xbench application to perform a QA-check.The name of this plug-in is Xbench 2.9 Plugin, however, it works with Xbench 2.9 as well as Xbench 3.x.
