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.
The Foundation's interpretation of the GFDL has been that the two critical elements of compliance with the license are as you say. You must have a link to the "live" original article so the history can be viewed (which allows authorship to be determined) and the link to the GFDL license itself.
I don't quite follow how the second part of your question is different. Do you mean "language" as in your choice of words, or as in Spanish, Swahili, etc.?

If I want to use a GFDL text (which I have edited a bit) on my site I have to
- Link to the original aricle
- Use the same license GFDL
But if I want to translate a original GFDL text to my language and use it, is it enough to do the same as above ?
