I don't think the change was right, but the reason it was added is
probably that some (technical) Danish people here in Denmark want
their interface to speak English, but otherwise use Danish paper
formats, decimal point etc.

Don't ask me why - I think it is completely silly and nonsensical. But
that's the way it is.
