Re: Revised Danish version: (4.00 / 2)

Would it be bad to use præsident in the title, though? The title is supposed to be in scare quotes either way. And Tony Blair will probably be reported as præsident in the news anyway.

e.g.

Tony Blair har kurs mod EU-præsidentposten

Tony Blair som præsident?

Re: Revised Danish version: (none / 1)

I second your suggestion. Præsident in the scare quotes in the title, formand everywhere else.

Re: Revised Danish version: (none / 1)

Given the news reports quoted above, I agree that 'præsident' is suitable for the title.

Excellent. I'll do the same for the Dutch version.
