When you are writing to an international market, the signals have to be right for the audience. Home-grown translation can’t do that. Phrasing imported directly over from Danish sounds strange to an English ear and it doesn’t capture the meaning you are trying to project. You need someone who not only writes really well in their native language, but really knows specific audiences. I have experience in journal marketing both to the well-informed general reader and various kinds of specialist, and I will put what you mean—your ideas, not your words—into real English with the right signals.
