Can a live preview be made for Danish (da)? Been hard at work on this lately, and I expect to reach 100% soon

Very cool, thanks!!

Sure, just created, it should be live in the next 10 minutes : http://bitcoinda.us.to/da/ and it should be updated on a daily basis, like other live previews.

The website also needs an easier to locate Download link.

Seems like you're trying to hide the Bitcoin Core...

Since you join the website:

Introduction
Getting Started -Click-
2. Choose your wallet -Click-
And finally Bitcoin Core

Bitcoin.org is about Bitcoin, not Bitcoin Core. And Bitcoin Core isn't appropriate as the default choice for most new users, so this is actually intended; Bitcoin Core is displayed equally with other wallets.

But ultimately, I think Bitcoin Core should have a dedicated website too like other wallets. But current website is probably "good enough" to not make this a priority.

Thanks! This is indeed a great way to preview the translations! Already catched a couple of typos

Ill try to touch up the German translations and Italian

[IH-Antonio]

Bitcoin.org is the original domain name used with the first Bitcoin website. It was registered and is still managed by Bitcoin core developers and by additional community members, with the input of Bitcoin communities. Bitcoin.org is not an official website. Just like nobody owns the email technology, nobody owns the Bitcoin network. As such, nobody can speak with authority in the name of Bitcoin.

The new "Choose your wallet" page has been published!

https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

And volunteers are now welcome to help translating all English strings. Please join and help on Transifex!

I am happy to help with German and French but I suspect they will have these languages well covered

I'd say you're welcome if you want to help with German, as I don't know if current translators will be available soon. And otherwise, they'll be able to review your work and it will make their life easier as long as you take time to provide good quality translations.

I am currently translating in French, but reviews are always welcome and appreciated.

The new "Choose your wallet" page has been published recently and, as always, translations are welcome.

Also good news, bitcoin.org is now translated in 24 languages!

The following translations are outdated and help from new translators is very welcome:

Polish
Chinese (traditional)
Persian
Turkish

I just created most of the Dutch translations for the new "Choose your wallet" page in Transifex, but not entirely sure how to continue. Do I request a live preview now to get everything right?

The docs on GitHub suggest that I create a PR, but do I need to fetch the translations from Transifex in my bitcoin.org fork?

Thanks! I have just updated the live preview:
http://bitcoinnl.us.to/nl/kies-uw-portemonnee

However translations aren't fully complete (3% left). They also usually need to be reviewed both by another Dutch speaker and by me, using Google translate to compare translated strings with the original ones to spot disprepancies.

Are you confident that your work is accurate - consistent with translations, typo-free and easy to understand and read for Dutch speakers?

Once translations are complete and reviewed, they can indeed be submitted in a pull request, but I usually take care of this part since I must review and test translations.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the feedback! I indeed need to translate some more strings and I saw in the live update that some things need some fixing and could use better wording. I'll let you know once I'm finished!

Bitcoin.org was set up by Satoshi as the site for the Bitcoin Core project.  Now a small group of people associated with the Foundation control it use it for promoting certain things.  They want the SEO for their purposes so now they say Bitcoin Core should be somewhere else.
