What does this PR do?

Adds Danish (da, "Dansk") translations for the admin UI and makes the locale selectable in the language picker.

• packages/admin/src/locales/locales.ts: adds { code: "da", label: "Dansk", enabled: true }.
• packages/admin/src/locales/da/messages.po: 3012 of 3040 strings translated. The 28 empty strings fall back to English on purpose, because I couldn't settle on the right Danish term (for example "records" in the site package import and export flow).
• .changeset/danish-admin-locale.md: patch changeset for @emdash-cms/admin.

Terminology

• Follows the Danish WordPress translation where it fits: indlæg, websted, kontrolpanel, udgiv / fjern udgivelse, papirkurv.
• Common terms stay in English: plugin, slug, byline, passkey, media.

I, a native Danish speaker, have reviewed every string and previewed the translations in the running admin, side by side with English. However, since this is a lot of text to read through, some mistakes might have slipped through..

Outside this PR (not in the admin catalog):

• packages/admin/src/locales/day-picker.ts has no da entry, so the date picker calendar stays English.
• Relative times ("just now", "1 hour ago") are hardcoded in packages/admin/src/lib/utils.ts:40-43.
• The audit-log plugin's "Recent Activity" widget and "Audit History" page are hardcoded English in packages/plugins/audit-log.
• The content list date column shows 9/26/2026, while the editor shows 26. sep. 2026.

Type of change

• Bug fix
• Feature (requires maintainer-approved Discussion)
• Refactor (no behavior change)
• Translation
• Documentation
• Performance improvement
• Tests
• Chore (dependencies, CI, tooling)

Checklist

• I have read CONTRIBUTING.md
• pnpm typecheck passes
• pnpm lint passes
• pnpm test passes (or targeted tests for my change). The admin tests had 2711 passing and 1 failing. The failing test, tests/published-at-rev.test.tsx "recovers the newer token when the date write conflicts", also fails on main without this change. fix(admin): allow publication-date retry after a conflict #3491 seems to be fixing this.
• pnpm format has been run
• I have added/updated tests for my changes (if applicable). Not applicable: translation only.
• User-visible strings in the admin UI are wrapped for translation (if applicable). Not applicable: no source changes. The messages.po change is the translation itself.
• I have added and reviewed the user-facing changeset (if this PR changes a published package)
• New features link to an approved Discussion. Not applicable: translation.
• I have included screenshots below if this PR changes the UI

AI-generated code disclosure

• This PR includes AI-generated code. Model/tool: Claude Opus 5.5 (Claude Code) made the first-pass translation. I then reviewed and edited every string and previewed it in the running admin.

This is the right change for what it sets out to do: add Danish as a fully selectable admin UI language. There are no source-code changes, no logic changes, and no API or database implications, so the surface area is intentionally small.

What I checked:

• Read the unified diff (packages/admin/src/locales/locales.ts, the new packages/admin/src/locales/da/messages.po, and .changeset/danish-admin-locale.md).
• Confirmed AGENTS.md conventions around Lingui catalogs, locale registration, and changesets.
• Verified the locale is inserted alphabetically in locales.ts, uses the standard BCP-47 code da, defaults to LTR, and is enabled.
• Compared the Danish catalog against the source English catalog: 3,040 msgids, identical set, no extras or omissions. 28 entries intentionally have empty msgstr values and will fall back to English, matching the PR description.
• Spot-checked translations containing ICU placeholders/plurals and ran a quick static scan for placeholder mismatches and unbalanced braces — none found.
• Verified the changeset is present, targets @emdash-cms/admin, and uses a patch bump consistent with a translation-only change.

The PR also notes known surrounding gaps (day-picker calendar strings, relative-time strings, audit-log plugin copy) that are intentionally out of scope, so there is no introduced inconsistency. The code is clean.

One optional follow-up: if react-day-picker/locale exports a Danish locale, wiring da into packages/admin/src/locales/day-picker.ts would close the calendar gap — but that is independent of this change.
