The following is an announcement written by Millennia Corporation:
Surprise, Arizona, November 9, 2006 – Millennia Corporation, a leader in family history software, today announced the release of the Danish language edition of Legacy Family Tree.
The software, used by beginners and professionals to record, plan, and share their family trees, is now the premier choice for Danish researchers.
“Until now, the choice for many [Danish] genealogists has been Brother’s Keeper or Family Tree Maker,” wrote Lars J. Helbo in Alt om DATA (Everything about Data magazine). “The first has a rich set of functions and a perfect localization, but the user interface is not up to date. The latter has a modern user interface, but lacks a number of vital functions. If that was the dilemma, Legacy has the solution. Legacy simply combines Brother’s Keeper’s and Family Tree Maker’s strengths without their weaknesses.”
Key Features
- user interface, reports, help files – all in Danish
- Danish census forms from 1769-1950
- Timelines of Danish history
- checklist of suggested sources for Danish research
- same excellent features as the regular edition including over 100 reports, To Do List, calendars, expert tips/advice, statistics, web site searches, and much more...

Ja, those Danes, those Danes. The Germans, the Norwegians (both languages) and the French, at least, were working on the translations before the Danes started. The Danish team has been exceptional, delegating tasks and cooperating extremely well with each other and with all the other teams. At the same time they've traveled to meetings and exhibits, demonstrating their product.
What Millennia forgot to mention in their press release is that all 150 or so translators have donated thousands of hours to this work for up to three years. Millennia is to be commended for daring to coordinate all these independent-minded translators all this time ("employing" volunteers all over the world is an art!) and Denmark is to be congratulated for coming first to the Goal. The rest should be following shortly.

The danish was released first because they choose to do so before the relationships were translated, whereas the other language groups wants that finished before it is released. Most of the other groups are at the same stage as the Danish.
