Here's a small thingy from the W3C: the "lang" parameter. Employed in the body tag like this, it will tell a user agent that your page is in German: <body lang="de"> I'm not confident that Googlebot will understand it though, i've seen no proof to this (or the opposite). Otherwise there's always the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE cloak, used by Google itself... as explained in that thread i mentioned above. It was posted more than 24 hours ago, it hasn't been approved yet, so i can't even access it myself and post the contents in this thread.
djgreg, are you on a .de domain or on a .com (or other)? and how about the IP for the site - is it owned by a German entity?
