[wp-polyglots] XFN question

Hi!

I'm having trouble translating the XFN friendship values.  Are the
English choices ordered?  I.e.

acquaintance  <-- least well known
contact
friend <-- most well known
none

Both "acquaintance" and "contact" translate to the same in Finnish,
and I would have thought that a "contact" is more formal than an
"acquaintance".

Maybe if you guys could tell me how you translated these in Swedish,
German or possibly Norwegian or Danish, that might help?  That's about
the limit of my linguistic abilities to compare the words...

Of course, if there are any other Finns lurking on the list, please reply.  :-)

Thanks,
+ Kim
