Bug description

Most the placeholders in danish are malformed resulting in wrong strings being displayed throughout the app.
...
The source seems to be the translated strings in https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/blob/v34.0.4/translations/client_da.ts

Steps to reproduce
  1. Have the desktop client in danish
  2. Left click the Nextcloud tray icon
  3. Click on Settings
  4. Click on Info
  5. Look at the Version string at the top, it reads: "% 1 skrivebordsklientversion% 2"
Expected behavior

It should read "NextCloud skrivebordsklientversion 34.0.4"

Note: I wanted to fix the issue myself, so I applied to become a member of the danish transifex team, but I guess enrolling will take some time.
