Keep in mind that the one who enters these translations at BetaWiki thereby more or less claims to speak Danish.
Exactly. Sadly many of them don't.
Perhaps it should be made clearer that you should only enter any translations on BetaWiki if you are either a native or near-native speaker of the language, not just if you took a few classes in the language or spent a year in the country or something. I'm sure many people are happy to help out in whatever way is possible and view it as a nice way to brush up on the languages they know, and don't realize what a poor translation they're adding. (I'm thinking something like Engrish here -- is that about right?)
