Is it possible to set up Outlook 2003 to work with a gmail account? If so,
how do you set it up? I don't want to have to type all my contacts that I
have stored in Outlook into my gmail account. I thought if I could just have
the emails from gmail loaded into outlook, I can respond to and create new
emails using my current contact list in outlook.

Read the Help in GMail. There are some fairly detailed instructions on this.
 
You may have issues with language versions of Outlook (Office). I am
using both Office 2003 and Office 2007.

In office 2007 I can change lanugage to English and import/export
using CSV files works fine between Outlook and Gmail Calendar, but
using Danish language in Office 2003 since this is a single language
version, then import fails to read the CSV file correctly.

Therefore has anyone seen or written a language CSV convert program
which changes the first line in the CSV file from English to other
languages. I seems very simple program but there are a lot of fields
which need to be translated 100% correctly, so the CSV file have right
formating non English MS Office installations.

Google and Microsoft: We do not all have pure English / US versions
installed on our PC's. !

AFAIK you don't need to do any importing/exporting with CSV files - you can
use the Google Calendar Synchronising utility.
