Too bad. This might be a LibreOffice and/or Linux/Java issue. To exclude Linux/Java issues download the
standalone version, unzip it and double-click languagetool.jar.
This should display the LanguageTool Java GUI.
If you get Java errors, you'll have to open a terminal window, change to the folder that you unpacked languagetool to and enter the following command:
Code:
java -jar languagetool.jar
If the standalone version works it should also work in LibreOffice (and Sigil). If all else fails you could give my Sigil plugin a try. The current version is more or less a stopgap solution, because it only allows you to jump to paragraphs that contain errors, which might make it a bit difficult to locate typos, however, the next version will move the cursor before a flagged word.
