Any specific language? I speak a few different languages, but I'm a bit out of practice now. Language skills fade fast if they're not used.
my parents have a box of old photos with Swedish writing on them that no one in the family can identify...
Some are old, dating back to near the invention of photography and we believe that at least one of the subjects is a King or someone else very high up in the monarchy.

Swedish I can help you with
Google actually have a decent automatic swedish-english translator, but if it's older handwritten swedish the spelling is different and can be hard to make out too.
And if it's royalty I can probably identify them too, there's not that much royalty in Sweden that it's hard to keep track.
If you can scan them and get them to me, I'll be happy to help, as much as I can.
I actually also have an old box with family photos, have been meaning to go through them and scan them. At least one of them is a personally signed photo of the King at that time. (My grandfather was a really good hunter/tracker, and tracked down a wounded moose for the King once)
