Source text - English Tourism in Paris is a major income source. Paris received 12.6 million visitors in 2020, measured by hotel stays, a drop of 73 percent from 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of foreign visitors declined by 80.7 percent. Museums re-opened in 2021, with limitations on the number of visitors at a time and a requirement that visitors wear masks.
In 2018, 17.95 million international, overnighting tourists visited the city, mainly for sightseeing and shopping (and estimated to be well over double if including domestic overnighting visitors). Top sights include Notre Dame (12 million visitors in 2017), Disneyland Paris (11), Sacre Cœur (10), the Versailles Palace (7.7), the Louvre Museum (6.9), the Eiffel Tower (5.9), Centre Pompidou (3.33), and the Musée d'Orsay (3 million). The largest numbers of foreign tourists who come to the Paris region are British, American, German, Italian, Chinese, and Canadian.

I 2018 besøgte 17,95 millioner udenlandske, overnattende turister byen, primært for at se på seværdigheder og shoppe (tallet anslås at være langt over det dobbelte, hvis man medregner indfødte besøgende på overnatning). De største seværdigheder i Paris er Notre Dame (12 millioner besøgende i 2017), Disneyland Paris (11), Sacre Cœur (10), Versailles slottet (7,7), Louvre museet (6,9), Eiffeltårnet (5,9), Centre Pompidou (3,33) og Musée d'Orsay (3 millioner).

English to Danish: Barbie: The fashion doll and brand (Wikipedia) General field: Marketing Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - English Barbie is a fashion doll created by American businesswoman Ruth Handler, manufactured by American toy company Mattel and launched in 1959. The toy is the figurehead of the Barbie brand that includes a range of fashion dolls and accessories.
Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for over six decades. Mattel has sold over a billion Barbie dolls, making it the company's largest and most profitable line. The brand has expanded into a multimedia franchise since the late 1980s, including video games, computer-animated films, and a live-action film.
Barbie and her male counterpart, Ken, have been described as the two most popular dolls in the world. Since its launch, Barbie has transformed the toy business in affluent communities globally by becoming a vehicle for the sale of related merchandise (accessories, clothes, friends and relatives of Barbie, etc.).
Writing for Journal of Popular Culture in 1977, Don Richard Cox noted that Barbie has a significant impact on social values by conveying characteristics of female independence, and with her multitude of accessories, an idealized upscale lifestyle that can be shared with affluent friends.
Translation - Danish Barbie er en modedukke, skabt af den amerikanske forretningskvinde Ruth Handler, fremstillet af det amerikanske legetøjsfirma Mattel og lanceret i 1959. Dukken er frontfigur i Barbie-brandet, der rummer en række modedukker og tilbehør.
Barbie har spillet en central rolle på legetøjsmarkedet i over seks årtier. Mattel har solgt over en milliard Barbiedukker, hvilket gør dukken til virksomhedens største og mest indbringende produktserie. Brandet er vokset til en multimedie-virksomhed siden 1980´erne, med computerspil, animationsfilm og en live-action-film.
Barbie og hendes mandlige modpart, Ken, beskrives som de to mest populære dukker i verden. Siden lanceringen har Barbie påvirket legetøjsbranchen i velhavende samfund globalt, som et redskab til salg af relaterede produkter (tilbehør, tøj, Barbies venner og familie, osv.).
Don Richard Cox skrev i en artikel i "Journal of Popular Culture" fra 1977, at Barbie har en betydelig indflydelse på sociale værdier ved at udtrykke karaktertræk såsom kvindelig uafhængighed, og med hendes mangfoldighed af tilbehør, en idealiseret, eksklusiv livsstil, som kan deles med velstående venner.
