LT Premium & Libreoffice: Does not work

Every time when I start Libreoffice Writer I get the message: “Could not establish Internet connection to https://api.languagetoolplus.com/v2/check. Client error message: (28) Timeout was reached”.

In the setting I have entered the URL, my user name (= e-mail address) and my API Key. I have followed the instructions on this webpage: How To Enable LanguageTool on LibreOffice: Step by Step

It would be great if anyone has an idea how I can fix this problem. Unfortunately the support was not helpful. Thanks!

I have a similar problem. Even though I have installed LT Premium according to the guideline correctly, it doesn’t work whatsoever with LibreOffice. And sometimes I get the same error as you have described. LT support doesn’t help at all with this topic because they say the connection to LibreOffice is not their cup of tea.
So how could you get LT Premium running at all in LibreOffice? I’ve installed Java, what was missing, but I have no other idea what I could do. Thanks.

It looks like that LT is running in LibreOffice though, and that I had just the expectation that it looks like in the web version. Is this LT working in LibreOffice? Thanks.

The free version shows up (sometimes) in LibreOffice Writer and there it looked like in the web version.

This would be nice if it were like this. I’ve just got the error you’ve described. But I don’t see what impact it has.

I think that the URL is wrong. Therefore only the LanguageTool Support could help. But as you said: They are not really interested in helping. The guy from the support team wrote: “I can confirm that the URL should still be up-to-date, and that there are no major changes to it.”
The URL must be exactly correct otherwise it would not work.

I use the second URL for the Premium package and it is correct. The error occurs irregularly, but the tool works nevertheless. Does it have any impact when it occurs with you?
