The wxstd.mo file is part of the wxWindows package.  On Unix it should be
installed in /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES (may vary with distribution).
I don't know where it might be found in the wxMSW packages.

If there is no wxstd.mo for Danish, you may want to create one.  The wxstd
catalog contains translations of standard buttons like Yes/No/Cancel, and
common dialog boxes like the file-picker.

I don't remember exactly how poEdit handles this, but I think there are two
different commands, one to update the .po file, and a different command to
compile/save a .mo file.  Check the menus...

Also, .mo files are the same on all platforms, so it may be easiest to
generate the file in Linux and copy it to Windows.  Eventually we may want =
to
keep .mo files in CVS, so localized Audacity can be built without extra too=
ls
like gettext/poEdit (which don't even exist on MacOS).
