Default Problems with units in cook book

One of my cook books, translated from English to Danish, is using the
unit "cups", which isn't a unit normally used in Denmark, and when it is
- it can apperantly mean different things from 1,5 to 2,5 dl. If all of
the measurements was in the unit, it wouldn't be a problem, as I could
just stick to the same unit all of the time, but it doesn't.

Quite frankly, I haven't got a cluse, as to how to find out what is meant
by "cup" here. I don't expect anyone in here to have "A vegetarian cook
book in six acts", so I can find out what the English version says, as I
know how much one of those cups are, but if I post one of the recipes
here, do you then think that maybe someone in here will have an idea as
to how much it might be? I know - it's a shot in the dark, but it's the
only idea I can come up with. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Nikitta
