We did this a long time ago. Photographer is fotograf in Denmark. Photography is Fotografi. The Norwegians are even better - they spell everything just like it's pronounced. In Iceland it's forbidden to use foreign words. They make new Icelandic words all the time. For example software is called "Maskinånd" - meaning "machine spirit". This is supposed to prevent this small language from disappearing. The Sweeds can't say "J" or "Jack" - they say iack and Immy! Immy Hendix, and iack ionson. Perhaps the next step is to exclude the "I" or "J". So, I guess "Jack" will be "Iak" very soon!
