Add words to languagetool suggesting list


I use LanguageTool for some spellchecking and spell correction functionality in my application.

The LanguageTool documentation describes how to exclude words from spell checking (with call the addIgnoreTokens(...) method of the spell checking rule you're using).

How do you add some words (e.g., from a specific dictionary) to spell checking? That is, can LanguageTool fix words with misspellings and suggest words from my specific dictionary?


Solution

  • Unfortunately, the API doesn't support this I think. Without the API, you can add words to spelling.txt to get them accepted and used as suggestions. With the API, you might need to extend MorfologikSpellerRule and change this place of the code. (Disclosure: I'm the maintainer of LanguageTool)
