Does any know of a version of "Partnership Bidding at Bridge, The contested auction. Andrew Robson and Oliver Segal, 1993" translated to Danish?
Have any tried to translate it to other languages using online automated translation services?
Any tips or tricks should I attempt to make such a translation?

Never tried. It might work, but the book has a lot of technical terms that might get messy in the translated version.
The book is definitely worth translating. 20 years after, it still stands as the only good book on bidding ever written. Yes, the ONLY one.

IMO there is a lot of interesting ideas, but too many flaws, the requirement for the fit jump are too high so the frequency is too low. Also many fit jump situation help opponents more than your side. Also some of the splinters are just worth more than the fit jumps (especially if they turn FP "on")
For sure its worth reading but dont take it as a bible.

From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

I remember thinking, when I first read this book, that I wished someone would translate parts of it into English 
Had to work very hard to extract some fine ideas from this book.

Agree, the number of grammatical errors and typos is so large that it is sometimes difficult to read.

This book is the classic on contested auctions. There is nothing that as yet comes close to it. It is one of the best theoretical Bridge books ever written.
