Okay - I didn't remember that - heard it once though, but guess I forgot. 
Thanks for the enlightment :-)

>1982 - 1988     Jørgen Sonnergaard (JSo)
Jørgen Sonnergaard translated the dansih weekly?? He´'s the famous (in
Denmark)
translator of Tintin, who went through a trial with the publisher here
(Carlsen) and lost
- they were reprinting the albums in alrge number swithout giving
royalties...
He was the one from whom Hergé got the idea to let Haddock swear
alphabetically...!

>1989 - 1992-23  Yanne Reich (YRe)
That's the name. She's the one who made Scrooge quote danish grundtvig
about danish 
nature while he was on his way throug Alaska with his sled in "Last Sled
to Dawson"... :-)

>JB 20-   Birgit Trenckner (BTr)
She's been doing it for so long? Well, we're dealiong with an experinced
lady here then. 
Sorry that i took herfor unqualified as she made up names for one of my
favorite themes - 
if it has been for another story i wouldn't have noticed that much. 
BTW it's not only the duck-references about Scotland (they can be hiding
quite much) - 
she's left out. Its also Micke´'s professor friend, the one we call Kosmo
Kvantemose 
she calls him Dr Statik (I take it his name is doctor Static in english?)
I'm sorry again - I know there´s many stories who have to be done before
certain deadlines - 

I'm sure one simply can't take the time to look up all the details. This
is also the reason why 
the colorist (from ecn) made the eye of Iku-Turso in the Kalevala story.
You who have a 
scandinavian or german edition can check this. - in the end of the story,
something is 
supposed to be the golden snow of the Sampo - it isn't. 
(I hope this is corrected in the french, dutch, greek versions - and will
be in the american one)

>She started in 1975 and has since then translated all pocket products in 
 
>Denmark.
great work all in all - she thought up Little Gum, Vildmule (Indiana Goff)
and many of my other favorites.
