That is new to me .... there is no inbuilt Grammar and Spellchecker in 
OmegaT 1.6RC10 - where did you find this?

In the directory where you find the unzipped files of OmegaT doubleclick 
on omegat.bat - this launches the application. Then, as said before, you 
can follow the instructions on

You can use html, xml, txt and OpenOffice.org files. If you don't have 
OpenOffice.org save as .txt in utf-8 coding or html in utf-8 coding with 
Word. Do you want to translate Wikipedia-articles?

Have to ask Kim at which stage he is with the wiki-read, wiki-write 
feature for OmegaT.

Have a nice Sunday,
