Unfortunately; neither.  Messages that shouldn't be translated to
Danish, have unfortunately been, while messages that should have been
translated to Danish, haven't.

But that's without mentioning the horrible state of the localisation
in general:  Wrong context translations, just wrong translations and
many spelling errors.

The Danish Wikipedia itself is in a pretty bad state to.  Too many
articles on it are close to laughable, and you can often find better
articles on Danish subjects on the English Wikipedia than the Danish
one.

I my mind, the combination of the poor localisation and the bad state
the Danish Wikipedia is in, scares many Danish editors off.

And it should be mentioned, that many Danes have a pretty good
conception of English, and the interest in Danish is unfortunately
lessen as well.

I am trying to do my part, by translating the pages on Meta wiki and
the Strategy wiki to Danish.
