THE DANISH LANGUAGE
Danish (dansk) is one of the North Germanic languages (also called Scandinavian languages), a sub-group of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European languages. It is spoken by around 6 million people, mainly in Denmark; the language is also used by the 50,000 Danes in the northern parts of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany where it holds the status of minority language.
Danish also holds official status and is a mandatory subject in school in the Danish territories of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, which now enjoy limited autonomy. In Iceland and Faroe Islands, Danish is taught as a compulsory foreign language in schools. There are also Danish language communities in Argentina, the U.S. and Canada.
THE DUTCH LANGUAGE
Dutch (Nederlands) is a West Germanic language spoken by around 24 million people, mainly in the Netherlands, Belgium and Suriname, but also by smaller groups of speakers in parts of France, Germany and several former Dutch colonies. Sometimes called the smallest world language, it is closely related to other West Germanic languages (e.g., English, West Frisian and German) and somewhat more remotely to the North Germanic languages.
Dutch is the parent language of several Dutch-based creole languages as well as of Afrikaans, one of the official languages of South Africa and the most widely understood in Namibia. Dutch is also an official language of the European Union and the Union of South American Nations.
THE FINNISH LANGUAGE
Finnish (suomi or suomen kieli) is the language spoken by the majority of the population in Finland (92% as of 2006) and by ethnic Finns outside of Finland. It is one of the official languages of Finland and an official minority language in Sweden. In Sweden, both standard Finnish and Meänkieli, a Finnish dialect, are spoken. The Kven language, which is closely related to Finnish, is an official minority language in Norway.

Language mistakes and some advice
#1 "When the sidewalls are made from metal and rigidly mounted, you could be replaced by a non-metallic material."
#2 A client sent me a machine-translated German text which he could not make any sense of. It was only after I had translated it literally back into English that it became clear what was meant. The literal translation back from German to English said "...the North Sea sludge apartments...". What was actually meant was "North Sea mud flats...".
#3 During one conference interpreting assignment, I got to know a German mayor rather well, and after the session I complemented him on his relaxed delivery which made it easier for the interpreters to do their job properly.
Apparently, he was rather experienced in working abroad through interpreters and knew that he should not speak too fast. He then proceeded to tell me of a visit to Poland which at that time was still communist. He deliberately kept his sentences short to make the official interpreter's job easier. However, her interpretations seemed to be considerably longer than his sentences. When he asked her afterwards why that was, she replied:
"Oh, I did not say what you said, but said what you should have said."
#4 Advice on using search engines. A search engine creates listings from the contents of web pages. Popular examples include Google, AltaVista, Lycos and Ask Jeeves. Search engines use software called a spider to crawl over your site looking for keywords known as Metatags or Meta descriptions. These keywords are then used to create your webstore's listing. Using search engines well is essential to online promotion.
It's worth spending between £50 and £100 with a specialist agency that will register your website as effectively as possible with all the best search engines and web directories. Just try typing "registering my website" into a search engine to find more details. We can provide this service.
