A large part of the Danish translation effort center around the
dansk at dansk-gruppen.dk mailinglist, so you will reach more translators
if you write to that.

That being said you might be in for a tough task. The thing is that
translator time, like anything else that is contributed on a volunteer
basis, is a limited resource, so translators seems to generally
prioritize their efforts according to that expected "half life" of the
text they are translating, so that means 1) software string, 2) in
program help strings, 3) wikis/webpages and 4) guides, in that order.
The only problem is that we just rarely get to number 3 and 4 on that
list and sometimes barely even 2. But you should try and write that
list and see, perhaps you will be lucky.

Another thing you might try is to write whatever mailing lists you
have associated with your distribution. It will probably be a lit
easier to find someone willing if he/she is already a user. If you do
find a translator that way you are more than welcome to refer the, to
dansk-gruppen for proofreading services.
