Dutch grammar in python NLTK

I am working on a Dutch corpus and I want to know if there is a Dutch grammar in the NLTK so that I can parse my sentences? In general, does NLTK work only in English? I know that he has a copy of Alpino Dutch, but there is no indication that functions (like parsing using CFG) are also made for the Dutch. Thanks

This is a response to my mail from Stephen Byrd, one of the authors of the NLTK book:

NLTK can work for parsing the Dutch language if you provide grammar rules. Consult the NLTK book: http://www.nltk.org/book You may be able to use the Alpino package for development (or for preparing a statistical analyzer). If your main interest gets parsed Dutch proposals, I recommend that you try to find an existing parser, rather than developing your own.

In the end, I ended up using Alpino parsing, which is really strong and written in Prolog, but I managed to port (binary version) in python.
