Per mapbox/mapbox-navigation-android#1101, some instructions in the Danish localization include redundant directional modifiers:
In Danish, when the voice instructs you to turn left (or right), it says "Drej til venstresving" - literally, "Turn left turn" where it should be "Drej til venstre" (Turn left). Same goes with "Drej til højresving" -> "Drej til højre".
The affected maneuver types are roundabout_turn, fork, new_name, merge, notification, off ramp (“Take exit 123 on the left turn”), end_of_road, turn, and continue.
Part of the problem is that the generic words for “left”, “sharp left”, etc. have been translated as “left turn”, “sharp left turn”, etc.
Some localizations have done this intentionally because there’s no way to isolate the word “left” but insert it into a sentence after the fact. I’m not sure if this is the case for Danish; we might be able to just simplify the modifier translations. Ideally, common maneuvers would never have to insert the modifier entries. However, we’re currently relying on those entries in a few too many cases: #240.
