What are the grammar checker options for Spanish?

Very often, my source documents are not in human-readable formats (such as Word). This makes it impossible to run a grammar checker after completing the translation.

Is there an effective grammar checker tool (Verification F8 option) to use in Trados 2022 for Spanish?

I have been testing MS Word, LanguageTool and Antidote but none of them worked, for different reasons.

Thank you in advance for your ideas!

  • Hi there!

    I was wondering whether this was the right place to post this question Slight smile Please let me know if it does not!

    I have been reading some more threads about this topic, and I could see that I am not the only one having problems with MSWord grammar checker. For me, the main issues are that it does not detect obvious mistakes and it takes extremely long to finish the scan (sometimes more than an hour). 

    Regarding LanguageTool, I did not manage to install it and I suspect it is about the Java setup. Is anyone else using this tool? I'd be grateful for some feedback ;) 

    Basically, I would like to know which tools translators are using as a grammar checker, specially for Spanish!

    Thanks a lot!

    The Trados Studio forum would have been a better choice... the Elevate forum is only used while the Elevate online conference is being run.  I've moved it for you.

    LanguageTool is going to be your best bet I think... or export your project for bilingual review which will get it into Word.  Then grammar check in Word and run the update from bilingual review batch task.

    But on the LanguageTool... why not post into the AppStore forum with details of the problem you have encountered?  There are many users who work with this tool quite happily, and the developer is also very helpful.
