If you installed the 3.4 oxt extension on your other machine, too, installing Java and checking “Use a Java runtime environment” should make it work. (You'll also have to restart LibreOffice.)
Thanks Doitsu. I think that's the one thing I didn't do--restart LO. I'll try that on Monday when I get to that other computer, which is my work computer. (Of course it will be a restart because I shut the whole computer off.)

You might want to completely uninstall and reinstall LibreOffice and LanguageTool. (If the installation succeeds you should see a LanguageTool menu item in the Tools menu.)
I have that Language Tool in the Tools menu (on my home computer, which I'm on now). It checks nothing as I type (and I have the option set for it to do so) and when I do the check and recheck from the dropdown it also does nothing. I looked at the extension manager and found that there was an issue (screenshot) with the .oxt so maybe that was the problem.

Anyway, I'm making this seem whipsawed, where it's hard to tell which computer I'm talking about. I'm going to focus on the computer at work (that's the one where I need it more than the home one) and report back on that restart. Then if I get that one running the Language Tool I'll repeat the process on the home machine.
