Bad error in Danish translation and turning off translation

There is an important error in the Danish translation, reversing meanings:

"Since date" has been translated to "Før dato", meaning "Before date".

"Before date" has been translated to "Efter dato", meaning "After date" (this is a double error, since "since" and "after" is not the same, as "since" includes the given date, but "after" does not include it).

I suggest these translations instead:

"Since date": "Fra dato" (meaning "From date")
"Before date": "Til dato" (meaning "To date")

By the way, I need a way to turn off the translation completely (in the options, which I cannot find?). For programs like this, it only makes sense just to follow the language of the operating system, if the translation is 100 % correct. But these user supplied translations are often NOT correct, as they have not been through a professional translator (as opposed to Microsoft software), and this grave error is an example of this. So often I just want the English, correct translation.

I found a way to do it, though: I simply deleted the folder "C:\Program Files\GmailBackup\messages\da" (da for Danish) but I guess most users would not find this solution by themselves.

Best regards,
