It is indeed. Another update for Denmark is that Faraos Cigarer is currently releasing a new edition of the Danish Dragon Ball manga. John Lysmand is credited so it may be the same translation as before.
I tried to look into this a bit and found some random Danish comments on Facebook iirc that indicated that yes, it is the same translation, just with some tweaks here and there. Some of the character names are different, but the translation is otherwise apparently largely unchanged.

...To this I say Norway won in terms of actually getting a new translation from scratch for our re-release (even if said translation itself did have some issues), but Denmark absolutely wins in terms of how very, very nice those books look. Like, honestly, I think the cover design for the Norwegian re-release looks outright bootleg. Whereas Denmark has replicated the original Japanese covers as closely as possible, to what I'd say are pretty great results.
