Proofread More Languages

We’re often asked when we plan to make our intelligent proofreading technology available for more languages.

We’ve been hard at work and today we’re announcing After the Deadline proofreading for French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish.

These languages feature After the Deadline’s smart contextual spell checking. We’re also using a great open source project called Language Tool to check French and German grammar.

If you’re on WordPress.com and your blog language is set to French, German, Portuguese, or Spanish–you’re ready to use our multi-lingual proofreader.

Click in the visual editor or in the HTML Editor.

We realize many of you blog in multiple languages and we have not forgotten you. Visit your WordPress.com profile page and select Use automatically detected language to proofread posts and pages.

With this option enabled, our proofreader will guess the language of your blog post and apply the correct proofreading technology for that language.

The WordPress.com Proofreading technology is available as the After the Deadline plugin for self-hosted WordPress blogs.

Enjoy.
