No.  You have to use the Danish LC_CTYPE since this contains the rules
the user understands.

A Dane user will expect å -> aa transliteration while in other parts
of the world the ° will simply be dropped: å -> a.  Similar for ü in
Swedish which probably should be transliterated ü -> y.  In German it
must be ü -> ue.
