Is there any way to change which language LaTeX works in? I'm writing a report in danish, but when I use \maketitle and other commands which generates some content. This content appears in english. Is there any way to change this?

Your definitions are wrong. Besides, having \latintext doesn't guarantee correct hyphenation of English words. Here's a better way (the Greek sentence has been obtained from Google translation, I don't know if it's good Greek).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,greek]{babel}
\begin{document}
Αυτό το κείμενο είναι στα Ελληνικά \foreignlanguage{english}{not English}
\begin{otherlanguage*}{english}
This is a longer text in English, so
we use an environment for it.
\end{otherlanguage*}
Αυτό το κείμενο είναι στα Ελληνικά
\end{document}
Of course you might prefer defining a personal command, such as
\newcommand{\eng}[1]{\foreignlanguage{english}{#1}}
so you can simply type \eng{English word} in your document instead of the complicated \foreignlanguage{english}{English word}.

Try
\usepackage[danish]{babel}.
