Description: Why is there no default integration of the "LanguageTool" in LibreOffice? This would make it compatible to MS. I was asked the same question by many people I showed the LanguageTool extension. Especially since the program is already available as extension. http://languagetool.org Actual Results: - Expected Results: - Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
(In reply to Jasper Brown from comment #0) > Why is there no default integration of the "LanguageTool" in LibreOffice? It would not be integrated, but rather would be "bundled" Several reasons we don't: -- Requires a Java Runtime -- The .oxt extension is just a facet of the general Language Tool project, with its own development and support effort -- Size, at 67MB it is too large to build and bundle -- LGPL v2.1 license Also, no compelling need for it. Users that want more than the bundled lightproof can build with Language Tool, or download the .oxt extension. From the source readme [1]: Style and grammar checker for various languages written in Java, from [http://www.languagetool.org/] Shipping this is a compile-time option for LibreOffice, but our downloadable builds use the light-weight lightproof grammar checker instead to avoid the Java bootstrapping performance issues. =-ref-= [1] http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/external/languagetool/README
