At one point, the author starts waxing lyrical about Danish - "How rich is my language!" - followed by an asterisk and a footnote. The footnote read "We disagree - the translators."

well, the same stuff happens in English, and probably a bunch of other languages (all of them??) - i.e. - "man, that's BAAADD!!" can mean - that's GREAT, or that's HORRIBLE, depending on intonation, etc. Also witness Richard Nixon's "That would be wrong". Almost everyone who listened to the tape in the National Archives agreed he meant no such thing.

Alright, since you asked so nicely:

"Det er ligesom fordelen ved at tale et sprog som under 1/1000 af verdens befolkning kan forstå"

=

"That's the advantage of speaking a language which is understood by less than 1/1000 of the world's population".

Ta-daa!

Terminus, I am so glad you translated. I thought you were saying that

"Det er ligesom fordelen ved at tale et sprog som under 1/1000 af verdens befolkning kan forstå"

THe dastardly Folderol are spreading tall tales that Nik, the flak fanboy, wears dresses while punting 1/1000 cats.
