No matter if you're a Java developer, translator, proof-editor, linguistics student, or just a volunteer, you can help make LanguageTool a better checker:
Language maintainers
Language maintainers help develop rule files for new and existing languages. They do not need any programming skills. All that is required is some basic understanding of grammar and the ability to write some XML (that's a markup language, it's easy to learn if you don't know it). Read our Tasks for Language Maintainers.
Developers
- Web developers can improve the Firefox/Chrome add-on.
- Java developers can help us make LanguageTool better and faster. See this documentation for how to get and compile the code. See our list of easy fixes to get started, or the list of issues.
Translators
Translators can help us fix the SRX segmentation file just by using it in their favorite CAT systems and reporting back weird segmentation.
Linguistics students
Linguistics students can help us support new languages or add new rules (sometimes it's enough to suggest an idea of a rule - just a sentence with an error and a fix).
You
You can write error detection rules, too! Use the online rule creator or our three-minute introduction to get familiar with the XML syntax.
