Bilingual checks in LanguageTool in CheckMate are broken

Created by: Anonymous

Original issue 229 created by marcin.milkow... on 2012-05-13T14:20:28.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Check the check box "Use bilingual mode" under LanguageTool tab in the Edit Configuration window.
  2. Perform check.
  3. You will get the message:

Error with LanguageTool server. All LT checks are skipped from this text unit on. Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://localhost:8081/?

I pasted the URL to the browser and found out the reason: CheckMate does not specify the source language in the HTTP request. LT complains this way:

Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing 'motherTongue' for bilingual checks

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Okapi 0.16, Win7, Java 1.7
