In so far as commercial efforts go, I also recommend the GrammarSoft
stuff. You can try out the Danish one online here:

If you are interested in using Constraint Grammar for your tagging
needs, it is also worth noting that Norwegian[1] and Sámi[2] Constraint
Grammars are available free of charge under the GPL from the
Universities of Tromsø (for Sámi) and Olso (for Norwegian). Tromsø also
has a development versions of some other taggers under the GPL.
