Language tool keeps changing to German

#1

Hey Guys, not sure if this is a bug. Have been using LT for years now, and it has just switch to German from English. I can see in the settings it is English. I have tried removing the tool and re adding it, it still randomly switches over throughout the day.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Language setting in Firefox = English.
Language setting in LT = English.
Language setting in Windows = English.

Thanks.

That’s not German :slight_smile: Anyway, the text might just be too short to be correctly detected. Please follow the instructions here to make sure only those languages are set that you actually use: A wrong language is detected (e.g. English when I write Dutch) : LanguageTool
