(x) Check ;-)

In this case "check" and "uncheck" are probably default resources added to
each project by VS.Net. There are more resources like these that you cannot
find in the GUI. So the (un)checkbox translation is correct. I don't know if
there's a chance (or a need) to get rid of them.

Some ideas:

Acronyms like EXT, PEM, REC or names like Scintilla should be translated as
the same string, so no fuzzyness here.

Your first three translations for "from revision", "set" and "to url" are
correct.

The translations for "No spell corrections" and "No thesaurus corrections"
sound good to me as well. You can find them if you right-click on a
misspelled word in the commit dialog.

In German I translated "merge application" as "conflict editor", because
that doesn't sound as awkward as all the alternatives. Maybe that's good for
danish as well.

I can look up some of the strings in doubt for you and we can discuss it if
you like.
