It’s not, it’s just the Danish version of iOS that’s stupid. Nobody anywhere in this country writes time like that.

Most “translations” of software suck. I remember back when Instagram was still relatively fresh, the Danish translation of “likes” on a photo would roughly translate into “like declarations”. Like what the hell is that translation? Just call it “likes” or have it say “36 people like this”. Instead it would say “36 like declarations”. Absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah for real. I think it’s gotten better now, but I’ve never in my life had my phone set to Danish so I wouldn’t know. Every device I’ve ever owned has been set to English and stayed like that.

I don’t get why you’d want to use other languages really. Most people know English pretty well, and if not, you certainly don’t learn by having it set to your native language with those horrible translations. But each to their own, of course.
