It sort of prompts me to read all the words wrong. To pretend English is German and try to make sense of it.

I don't use automatic translation and so I have no idea if that's the case. But if you use a screen reader I imagine it will try read the English image description as if it were Danish because you told it it was Danish 😕

Does the language tag affect the image description?

I guess I expect people can click a button to translate Danish comments but not image descriptions?
