Open Graph ticker localization

My app adds lines like this to the ticker "[User] read [article] on [app]". I'd like to have that translated into Danish for users that use Facebook in Danish, so I've added this to the meta tags:

<meta property="og:locale" content="da_DK" />

The name of the object is "read", and the action is "article".

Unfortunately, the ticker line isn't shown in Danish, just English. How do I make it do that? I've already read https://developers.facebook.com/docs/internationalization/, but I can't get it to work. Is it possible that the action/object just haven't been translated into Danish by whomever translates Facebook? If so, how do I confirm that?

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug returns no error for the page, and the language tag seems to be correctly parsed.

Talking about the Translations Admin Panel, tab Browse Phrases, column Status, reachable under:

https://www.facebook.com/translations/admin/dashboard.php?app={APP_ID}&aloc={LOCALE_YOU_TRANSLATE_TO}

What should then be the right value for this column? I have I approved at the moment and translations are not visible in the OpenGraph messages appearing in the Ticker or on the Timeline.

Yeah, this kind of translation is done in the Facebook Translations app.

Go into your app settings, click edit, and on the left there will be a link to "Translate your App" - in this tool, you'll be able to specify the non-English structure of News Feed and Ticker stories.

The object itself (title etc) in Danish will be picked up from your object URL.
