Hi,
I have made a beta release of a MS Word add-in for LanguageTool [1].
("Add-in" is Microsoft terminology for "plug-in").
It has some limitations, but I think it can work fine and be useful. The
checking is made only in a dialog box, with the usual options in these
dialogues. Unfortunately the errors are not underlined in the text and
there is no context menu for suggestions. See further explanations in the
README.md.
The current implementation is in Catalan, but I plan to make it
multilingual soon. I will tell you as soon as it is done.
The checking is made automatically in the language defined in the text (at
the paragraph level). The mapping of language codes has to be completed
here [2]. Anyway, if the language is not found, then the default language
(defined in settings) is used.
The release version is not yet signed with a certificate, and this can
cause problems during the installation. It needs to be tested in different
versions of MS Word. I only tested it in MS Word 2010.
If you try it, tell me your impressions.
PS. There is another way to provide grammar checking in MS Word using the
Microsoft grammar API. This would be a DLL written in C/C++. I got the API
documentation from Microsoft. But under the conditions I got it, I can not
share it. The DLL could be implemented and distributed, but it can't be
open source.
Regards,
Jaume Ortolà
