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 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

New user here. First day and so far pretty useful… except this problem has quickly it has become a nuisance.
Examples:
I have English (American) set as my default and native languages. As @dnaber mentioned, perhaps it’s just too short of phrases. However, I don’t think “donate” is Italian, so I’m not sure why it assumes so.

Hello - sorry for my delay… I have English (American) set as my Mother tongue and Preferred languages. Screenshot: CleanShot 2022-07-15 at 15.24.54 - language tool settings set to english · CleanShot Cloud
And here’s another example of this issue happening. It assumes “Privacy Policy” is Polish - CleanShot 2022-07-15 at 15.22.58 - language tool not detecting english · CleanShot Cloud
