You are completely right. It is more a convenience than a "must" for Danes (and other Scandinavians) to have their very own translations. The absence of a Danish (or Scandinavian) translation should'nt disable many scandinavians from installing Debian. But it would be easier for most native speakers and thus invite more to actually do it. And e.g. the Danish GNU-skole (GNU for Schools) find it very important to have real Danish translations in order to introduce Danish kids (and teachers) to Linux. If enough localisations of boot-floppies get up-to-date, we ought to consider splitting up the international floppies into two with different groups of locales built in.
