Dear Mr. Kies, Please check http://www.danielnaber.de and http://tkltrans.sf.net languagetool. This grammar checker, called languagetool, works well for English, German and Hungarian, is written in python and for German and Hungarian uses the OO affix files and modified dictionary file. The rules have to be prepared in xml, therefore any user can create new rules. Your know-how is highly welcomed. There are also other grammar checkers around, one in perl for celtic languages, others for portugese. The OO interface will be able to handle multiple grammar checkers.
