If I buy a game in the US Playstation Store that has been localized for another country will I be able to use the localization.
For example: "Lego: The Hobbit" can be purchased locally with Danish translation and I assume that is the version, I would get if I purchased it in the Danish Playstation Store.
If I purchase it in the US Playstation Store, will I still be able to play it in Danish?

As long as your console's language is set to Danish and the game supports Danish localization, the game will be in Danish.
If your console is set to a language that is not included in your game, the game will run in the first language listed in the game's metadata, which appears to be sorted alphabetically according to their English abbreviation (i.e. GER for "German" instead of DE for "Deutsch").
More specifically: if your console is set to English and you try to launch a game that has been localized only in German, French and Italian, the game will run in French forcing others to set their console's language to German or Italian unless they can live with French localization.
Only very few games allow you to set the language instead of relying on the console's language and falling back to some weird default in case of failure; Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes is one such game, although it is a bit of a special case. You can specify the language for everything text based, such as subtitles and menus, but not for voice-overs. The game is either voiced in Japanese for the Japanese version, or in English for the International version.
In short: Yes, if the version you bought features Danish localization, you can play the game in Danish, but only if your console's system language is set to Danish as well or the game allows you to set the language manually.
