How it works

How to Translate Products to Danish

Get your product catalog translated and ready to sell in three simple steps

  1. 01

    Import your products

    Connect your e-commerce platform or upload your catalog as a file. WISEPIM takes over titles, descriptions, attributes and categories.

  2. 02

    AI translates to Danish

    The AI translates your catalog with your glossary, your protected terms and your instructions per market. Numbers, units and model numbers stay as they are.

  3. 03

    Review and publish

    Review the translations and publish them to your sales channels. That way you reach Danish-speaking customers without going through an agency.

Example

One article: what changes, what stays

An example from a sanitary catalog. Texts and option values are translated. Numbers, units and article numbers stay exactly as they are.

One article: what changes, what stays
Product nameThermostatic shower mixer, surface-mounted, DN 15, chromeTranslated, with the terms from your glossary
Material (option value)BrassTranslated once for every product with this value
Connection1/2"Stays 1/2"
Flow rate22 l/minStays 22 l/min
Article numberTB-4415-CRStays TB-4415-CR (protected term)

In a Catalog Jobs translation run, a text whose numbers, units or protected terms do not match the source waits in the Review queue instead of going live.

Checklist

Danish Product Information Checklist

Make sure your product data is complete and optimized for Danish-speaking customers

Product Content

  • Build titles in the order your channel expects: brand, product type, key spec, model
  • Keep article numbers, EANs and model codes untranslated as protected terms
  • Use one term per concept across the whole catalog, set in your glossary
  • Translate safety notes and claims exactly, and never add new ones
  • Check that bullet points name the same specs as the source

Attributes and Specifications

  • Translate option values once per attribute, not per product
  • Keep spec values identical: DN 15, 1/2" and 22 l/min stay as they are
  • Write decimals and thousands the way the target market does
  • Mark brand and series names as never translate
  • Check units the market writes differently, without changing the value

SEO and Discoverability

  • Keep meta titles under 60 and meta descriptions under 160 characters
  • Use the search terms buyers in the market use, not literal translations
  • Translate the alt text of your images
  • Map your categories to the category names of the market
  • Set hreflang tags for every language version

Culture and language

Danish Culture and Language Insights

Understanding the local culture is key to successful product translations

Recommended Tone and Style

Use a Mixed tone with a direct, honest, practical, friendly, understated style when writing product descriptions.

Key Considerations

  • Hygge: Emphasize comfort, coziness, and well-being in product descriptions and marketing.
  • Trust and Transparency: Danes value honesty, clear communication, and robust data privacy.
  • Direct Communication: Appreciate clear, concise, and straightforward messaging.
  • Sustainability: Growing preference for environmentally friendly products and ethical business practices.
  • Work-Life Balance: Respect personal time; avoid overly aggressive sales tactics, especially outside business hours.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using overly formal language; Danes prefer a more informal yet respectful tone.
  • Ignoring the concept of 'Hygge' in lifestyle-related content.
  • Failing to address sustainability efforts or ethical sourcing.
  • Translating literally from English instead of localizing for Danish cultural nuances.

Translation tips

  • Engage native Danish translators who understand local cultural nuances, especially 'Hygge'.
  • Prioritize clear, concise, and direct language that resonates with Danish pragmatism.
  • Ensure all monetary values are in DKK (Danish Krone) and use metric units.
  • Adapt marketing messages to reflect Danish values of quality, functionality, and sustainability.
  • Pay attention to addressing customers in a respectful yet not overly formal manner.

Shipping Expectations

Localization

Localizing for Danish-Speaking Customers

Translation is just the start. Adapt your content to local expectations for maximum impact.

  • Denmark exclusively uses the metric system for all measurements (e.g., meters, centimeters, kilograms, liters).
  • Clothing sizes primarily follow the EU sizing system (e.g., women's 34-44, men's 46-56). Providing conversion charts to US/UK sizes is helpful but EU sizes should be primary.
  • Shoe sizes are based on the EU system (e.g., 36-47). As with clothing, conversion charts are appreciated but EU sizes are standard.
  • Weight is expressed in kilograms (kg) for most products and grams (g) for smaller items (e.g., food, cosmetics). Milligrams (mg) are used for very precise, small quantities.
  • Dimensions are typically given in centimeters (cm) for most products, with millimeters (mm) for precision. The order is usually length x width x height (L x B x H), for example, '120 x 60 x 75 cm'.

  • Date format: DD.MM.YYYY (e.g., '31.12.2025'). YYYY-MM-DD can also be seen in technical contexts.
  • Decimal separator: Comma (,) is used (e.g., '123,45').
  • Thousand separator: Period (.) or a thin space is used (e.g., '1.234.567' or '1 234 567'). The period is more common in general text.
  • Currency: Danish Krone (DKK). The abbreviation 'DKK' is often preferred over 'kr.' and typically placed after the amount, often with a space (e.g., '99,95 DKK').
  • Time format: 24-hour format is standard (e.g., '14:30'). 12-hour format with AM/PM is not typically used. The week starts on Monday.

  • Prefer natural, authentic, and often minimalistic photography with natural lighting. Avoid overly staged or artificial-looking images; lifestyle shots depicting real situations resonate well.
  • Models should reflect a realistic representation of the Danish population, emphasizing diversity in age, body types, and natural appearances. Overly airbrushed or 'perfect' models can be off-putting.
  • Embrace clean, functional, and minimalist design aesthetics, heavily influenced by Scandinavian design. Ample whitespace, clear typography, and subtle color palettes are highly favored.
  • Images of people should appear natural and authentic. Direct eye contact is acceptable, but candid, lifestyle-oriented shots depicting genuine interactions often work best. Avoid overly posed or exaggerated expressions.
  • Avoid overly nationalistic symbols unless directly relevant to a specific patriotic context. Focus on universal themes like quality, functionality, and 'hygge' (coziness), often depicted through natural settings or inviting interiors.

  • Sale/Discount Colors: Red is widely recognized for signaling sales, discounts, and urgency. Orange can also be used effectively.
  • Trust/Reliability Colors: Blue is strongly associated with trust, professionalism, and stability, commonly used by financial institutions and government bodies. Green also conveys reliability and naturalness.
  • Premium/Luxury Signifiers: Black, gold, silver, and deep purples or blues often communicate luxury, sophistication, and exclusivity. Matte finishes and subtle textures in design enhance a premium feel.
  • Colors with Negative Associations: Overly bright or garish yellow can sometimes be perceived as cheap or childish. While brown can be seen as dull, earthy tones are generally well-received. Avoid overly flashy or clashing color combinations.
  • Cultural Significance: Green is strongly associated with nature, sustainability, and health, which are highly valued in Denmark. Red and white, the national colors, are generally neutral in marketing unless promoting Danish heritage.

Local SEO

Local SEO Tips for Danish

Optimize your product content for search engines in Danish-speaking markets

  • Google dominates the Danish search market (over 90% share). Optimize almost exclusively for Google's algorithms.
  • Utilize specific geographical modifiers in keywords, such as 'i København' (in Copenhagen), 'på Fyn' (on Funen), or 'Aarhus centrum' (Aarhus city center). Danes are precise in local searches.
  • Content should be clear, concise, and well-structured with clear headings and bullet points. While long-form content is accepted for complex topics, directness and transparency are highly valued.
  • Build local links through Danish business directories like Krak and De Gule Sider, and engage with local news sites or industry-specific Danish associations for relevant backlinks.
  • Use a .dk ccTLD (country code Top-Level Domain) to signal local relevance and build trust with Danish users. Implement hreflang="da-DK" for Danish content targeting Denmark.
  • Prioritize mobile-first indexing and fast loading times, as mobile search is prevalent. Optimize for conversational, local-intent keywords, as voice search is growing.

FAQ

Danish Product Translation FAQ

Common questions about translating products to Danish

WISEPIM translates with the glossary and do-not-translate terms from your Knowledge Library, so product names and fixed terms come out the way you set them. It handles product descriptions, technical specifications, and sales copy. It typically delivers 95%+ accuracy. You can review and edit every translation before publishing, and reviewer feedback can become new glossary terms and settings for the next run.

It depends on the size of your catalog and the number of languages. Bulk translations run in the background as a job, so you can keep working, and you get a notification when the results are ready to review. Before you start, a free preview shows how many texts per language need translating and what the run costs in credits.

Yes, within the rules you set. The AI adapts tone, wording and formatting to the target market, and you steer it per project with a glossary of fixed translations, words that are never translated (brand names, model codes) and your own instructions. In a Catalog Jobs translate run, every new translation is checked for kept numbers and units, protected terms, intact HTML and length limits, and a text that fails waits in the Review queue instead of going live.

Yes, if you turn on SEO optimization in your translation settings. Meta titles, meta descriptions and meta keywords are then written for search in the target language, with natural keyword placement and the original meaning kept. With it off, they are translated faithfully at a similar length. In a Catalog Jobs translate run, meta titles over 60 characters and meta descriptions over 160 go to the Review queue.

Yes, you have full control. You can edit any translated content directly in WISEPIM and push the changes to your connected sales channels. If you update the original product description, you choose whether to translate it again or keep your manual edits. On paid plans, the operation history lets you undo changes at any time.

Translation runs on credits. A standard translation of one product into one language costs one credit, and a higher-quality tier costs more per product. Before every run, a free preview shows how many texts per language will be translated and how many credits the run takes, so you can start with one category.

Yes. WISEPIM translates from your project's main language, so your source data does not have to be in English. You pick the target languages for each run.

Push it to a connected shop, export it as a file or feed from Feed Hub, or share a read-only Brand Portal in the languages you choose. Dealers browse it, download the data or import it into their own WISEPIM.
