I think this error is used in all former Danish versions of Project as well

HI @Joan Kiehl 

Would you mind looking at this one please? I am pretty sure you looked at this at the time and decided not to implement. Can you please let Jørgen know why. Thanks Staff 

Hi @Jørgen Koch (& @Stafford Quaid ),

 

The reason why "markere" has been used is because it is the Microsoft approved term for "select".

 

The term "markere" means "to mark" something, and the term "udvalgte" means "chosen".

As I suppose that you have actually marked/chosen something to export, I think the two terms can be used synonymously in this context, and I don't think a change is needed in this particular case.

 

But please let me know your thoughts, and we can discuss this further, if needed.

 

Best,

Marie
