[Wikipedia-l] Translate gnu text

[Thomas Pedersen]

Yes. I want to write an article in danish based on an article in english 
(from wikipedia).
Whats the GFDL correct procedure if
* The article in danish is an almost word for word translation of the 
original english article
* The article in danish just use SOME of the information in the original 
english article

In this case there is no danish article on that subject on wikipedia.
