The current Grammar Checkers for OOo admit to being beta, or alpha quality.
Microsoft does not admit to providing pre-alpha quality grammar checkers.
[Or have they finally taught their grammar checker the difference
between thee and the?]

Anyway, the alpha / beta quality grammar checkers for OOo are:

_Language Tool_l is a python based grammar checker originally written
for  German.  Rules sets for Hungarian and English are also available.
More information is obtainable from http://tkltrans.sourceforge.net/
and also from http://www.danielnaber.de/ .

_An Gramadóir_ is a Perl based grammar checker originally written for
Irish.  More information is obtainable from
http://borel.slu.edu/gramadoir/index.html . [This one is probably the
best suited for languages that use noun classes, or an evidential
grammar.]

_CoGrOO_ is a Grammar Checker for Portuguese, that is still in the alpha
stage. More information can be obtained from
http://www.pcs.usp.br/cgi-bin/jkinoshi/cogroo/experimente.cgi

_Cymraeg_ is a Grammar Checker for Welsh.  This is a commercial product.
A demo of it can be obtained from
http://www.bangor.ac.uk/ar/cb/cymraeg/demo_meddalwedd.php

I'm still missing a grammar checker.  :(

Work on Grammar Checking in the following languages is also underway:
French
Spanish
Queche
SeStwana
IsiXhosa
IsiZulu
SeSutho
Esperanto
Portuguese
