LanguageTool is an Open Source proofreading software for English, French, German, Polish, and more than 20 other languages. It finds many errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect. It will detect the errors only when text fields are available. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install LanguageToolĀ on your Synology NASĀ using Docker.

STEP 2
Install Container Manager via Synology āPackage Centerā. If you run an older DSM version (under 7.2), search for Docker instead of Container Manager.

Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.
STEP 4
Download the .zip grammatical data from the blue link below, then choose your language. I have chosen the English .zip file which is more than 8GB.

After the extraction is complete, you can delete the .zip file. Right click on the .zip file then delete. Follow the instructions in the image below.

š¢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guidesĀ forget to support my work, or justĀ ignoreĀ STEP 1. Iāve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I donāt run any ADS, I donāt require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I donāt collect IPs, emails, and I donāt have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also donāt have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. Itās something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.
STEP 20
On the Advanced settings area choose the LanguageTool API server URL and add your NAS Local IP followed by :8010/v2. So http://yourNASIP:8010/v2 then click Save. Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 21
From this point on LanguageTool will automatically find all the errors on your page provided there is a text field. Take a look at the image below to see LanguageTool at work.
Enjoy LanguageTool!
