Selected
Du har stadig æren i behold
I speak Norwegian, not Danish, so please forgive me if the expression is not correct Danish. In Norwegian, we say: "Du har fremdeles æren i behold". A common expression in Norway.
Kudos means honour/glory/prestige. "still in order" means "not broken". "kudos are still in order" means that you haven't lost (all) honour.
This expression is in use if something is not perfect, but you haven't missed out totally either. If you make the wrong decision, but regret it and make up for it, someone may say that "kudos are still in order". Let's say a football team loses, but they played real well, "kudos are still in order" because they played so well.

godt gjort
Min første tanke var 'det er anerkendelsesværdigt', men det virker lidt for formelt, synes jeg. Det er mit indtryk, at 'godt gjort' vil passe bedre i denne sammenhæng.
Håber jeg har hjulpet... :-)

'Kudos are still in order' kunne så blive 'det er stadig godt gjort' eller 'det er alligevel godt gjort' (jeg foretrækker nok det første)

Du værdsættes
Peer comment(s):

Lingua Danica
: Den passive form er lidt pudsig her. Hvad med "Du er værdsat" eller "Du er skattet".

Du beholder skindet på næsen
Lidt mere uformelt
Example sentence:
