I wonder where to turn to when it's about translation of the software. I'll notice that some things in the menus are very PC'ish, not macish.

So who is in charge for the swedish translation?

Translation of the software itself is handled by either someone at Sun (certain languages come directly from Sun) or by the NativeLang community at OpenOffice.org; we just pull the final langpack files.

I'm not sure where Swedish falls, but check with the Swedish Native-Lang project and they can tell you if they do the work themselves or if Sun does it.

I don't know how much flexibility Sun has built into the translation system to allow for platform-specific word choices...this seems to be a common problem among cross-platform OSS projects, and as far as I'm aware only Mozilla has "solved" it--only for Japanese--and only by having a special "ja-JP-mac" locale Sad
