That translation is from the gconf schema file. The never, critical,
present etc. options are text strings that are set by
gnome-power-preferences in GConf, read by gnome-power-manager and never
exposed to the user.

To translate this just do 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX
"never", "critical", "charge", "present" XXX "always"' where XXXXX is
the Danish translation.

Does this help?

Thanks for doing the translation!

Richard.
