European coming from Paris and needing translation (8)
I believe the answer is:
spaniard
'european' is the definition.
(someone from Spain)
'paris and needing translation' is the wordplay.
'needing translation' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'paris'+'and'='parisand'
'parisand' is an anagram of 'SPANIARD'.
'coming from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for spaniard that I've seen before include "Malaga man or woman, perhaps?" , "Slope-measuring instrument" , "European national" , "Eg, a native of Madrid" , "A native of Iberian country" .)
