There are various translating websites out there but they can,
unfortunately, be far from perfect. But they may be able to still get the
translation close enough for you.

What I did for a type of scavenger hunt party we were having, and that might
work for letterboxing clues also, was to go over to our community college to
their foreign languages department, explained my idea to a couple of
teachers in the language I needed translated, and asked how to go about
maybe getting some student volunteers who might be interested in helping
out. One of the teachers picked up on it and offered extra credit to
students willing to help translate, and I ended up getting everything
successfully translated.

The owner of the Letterboxing Germany website speaks English and might
translate his clues for you if you ask. I've also had good success with
the local GeoCachers in Belgium, which is a very popular hobby in
Europe.

Remember that most younger Germans also speak English, so you could
just post your clues in English. Not so much for any French-speaking
region, however. If you speak French, why would you want to learn
English?

If you are in Luxembourg and have a car, consider checking on my box
just up the road in Malmedy, BE.

I will definately check in on your box.  what is the box name? I have two weeks in Europe and I have purposefully planned to have No ITINERARY :)  I speak french so french clues should not be a problem.  I was mostly concerned with translating the clues from german to english but every one has provided fantastic suggestions.  Thanks All
