The problem with online translations is that the grammar isn't always 100% correct. You could have what you want translated, but it won't be accurate unless you or someone else who knows Dutch can have a quick look over it.
That said, many Danish people do know english. Perhaps you could try and send a letter in english. If you do send it to Svec Kramer and he doesn't know the language well, he may ask someone else to translate it for him.
Good luck Stacey

Hi Stacey
There are many translation sites that you will be able to use. The only problem that nowandagain said is that they are not always 100% reliable.
The ones that I have found for you are:
http://www.freetranslation.com/ 
http://www.freetranslation.com/
http://www.worldlingo.com/en/products_s ... lator.html
I myself have never used a translator for autograph purposes, but have for schoolwork.
Good Luck with getting Svec's autograph, I am sure he will reply to you.
Hope this helped,
James
