We dont really have multiple versions of danish so i dont see the need 
for the "_DK" part.

In different distributions there are many packages with translations and 
its annoying when some are under "da" and some are under "da_DK" so i 
try to get them the same place. One of the other.

Then in case later on if there was even more then one type of danish 
translation the "da" translation could be split into "da_[1]" and 
"da_[2]" but i have never seen it done for danish language.

One example is most packages are using "da" on:
https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/da

And then only a few is using "da_DK" on:
https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/da_DK

So i try to make different software use "da" so the translations will be 
in the same folder etc.
