I've just stumbled upon LanguageTool, a rule-based grammar checker with support for 33 languages. However, not all of them are equally well supported. The languages with the most rules are: French, German, Catalan, Polish and English.
I tested it with German and wasn't overly impressed, though. It did find some obvious typos but missed several grammar errors.

Here's a real life example from the German HTLAL forum:

Fasulye suggested the following corrections:

LanguageTool only complained about die fünfter Buch.

BTW, you can also define your own rules with the web-based Rule Editor.
