Agreed. I live in Finland, but my preferred language is English. Many many sites send me Finnish by default, although Google directions will always be in Swedish.
I seem to have to "change results to English" on google searches at least once a week when it forgets which language I've setup and used for the past ten years!
If you set the language to something that isn't the default anywhere, and isn't standard for your country (so for you, English followed by Danish would do) Google seems to respect the preference.
But you add a lot of entropy to the privacy violators.
