Add built-in spell checker in the Online Editor

We know that a built-in spell checker is not currently planned for the online editor, but please reconsider. The browser's spell check is limited, and relying on Google's Chrome enhanced spell check or third-party plugins poses confidentiality concerns. Having this feature would be especially beneficial for file types for which it is not possible to generate an editable target, such as xliff files.

  • I think that is just marketing blurb... Language Tool has been around for a very long time and only recently has added AI. The traditional spell check is definitely non-AI - it's more the rewrite use cases and more recent features that might use AI. In any event, Language Tool has had a long history of a trusted solution for the spell and grammar check use case.

  • For many companies, onboarding an additional tool for spellchecking creates additional and unnecessary overhead. It is quite a glaring omission for a full-featured translation management system such as Trados Enterprise to not have this type of essential functionality built in and ask its users to make do with third-party solutions

  • I couldn´t agree more - getting any new software onboarded for this would require a product responsible person on our side, NDAs with the company and a full risk-evaluation and regular follow-ups. We are doing this with RWS/Trados (took me quite some time and efforts get clearance) but I am hesitant and understand both   and   on this.
