Sorry, something went wrong.

I intentionally used lowercase “k”, the SI prefix for “kilo”. The Danish Orthographical Dictionary, the authoritative source for Danish spelling, explicitly mentions that “kilobyte” is abbreviated “kB”. The Danish orthography is not always in sync with international scientific standards (e.g. “deciliter” is abbreviated “dl” according to the Danish Language Council, but “dL” according to SI), but with respect to “kilobyte” they agree. |

Danish does not use Title Case for in headlines and definitely not in expressions like “128 Bytes” or “5,4 Millioner”. Apart from actual movie/book titles, Title Case is almost only used with proper nouns, certain titles and pronouns and in abbreviations.
The authoritative rules for letter case in Danish are described here:
