Screenshot of option English Sentence Checking

Use a current daily build and open Tools > Options > Languages and Locals.

That part has the items: General, Writing Aids, Searching in Japanese, Asian Layout, Complex Text Layout, LanguageTool Server, English Sentence Checking

Open the starting help page "Language Setting Options"
https://help.libreoffice.org/master/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01150000.html

You see the items: Languages, Writing Aids, Searching in Japanese, Asian Layout, Complex Text Layout, LanguageTool Server Options, DeepL Server Options

So errors are:
Title "Languages" instead of "General".
"DeepL Server Options" does not exist.
"English Sentence Checking" is missing.

Select item "English Sentence Checking" and click on Help button. You get a 404 error.
Help ID: cui/ui/optionsdialog/dialog-action_area1

Comment 1 Regina Henschel 2025-05-05 18:32:55 UTC
The help page for "DeepL Server Options" tells you that it an experimental feature, that you get only, if Tools > Options > Advanced > Enable experimental features is enabled. The text of item ""DeepL Server Options" should already mention, that it is an "experimental feature".

About "General" instead of "Languages" + DeepL experimental, I've submitted this patch:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/help/+/184982

For the rest, "English Sentence Checking" but I've got also:
- Hungarian Sentence Checking
- Grammar Checking (Portuguese)
- Grammar Checking (Russian)
I haven't found the corresponding pages, perhaps they must be created.

Related tdf#166471: replace "Languages" by "General" in Tools > Languages
Comment 4 Julien Nabet 2025-05-07 06:46:28 UTC
Let's remove the target since the patch submitted is just a small part of what to do.
