    abstract = "This paper presents the application of rule-based methods for Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) across multiple low-resource languages. We describe new functionality using the Constraint Grammar (CG) formalism, designed for detecting and correcting different types of complex grammatical errors in a range of morphologically complex languages. These errors require transformations such as reordering, word additions/deletions, and alternative choices for multiword suggestions. New perspectives are gained from end-to-end-testing {--} this work aims to clarify the relationship between the command-line interface used by developers and the user interfaces of our grammar checker plug-in for common word processors. We discuss challenges and solutions in correcting complex errors, with examples from languages like Lule S{\'a}mi, Irish, and Greenlandic, enabling linguists to adapt these methods in order to provide accurate and context-aware proofing tools for their own languages in mainstream word processors like Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice."
