Swedish translation of OpenOffice 4.x
Hello!
I have worked on the Swedish translation. There are now only 44 words
left. In some of these cases I am unsure what word to use because I am
not sure of in which context it is used. In a few cases it might be that
the original text in English has some error in it, because I do not
understand the meaning.
When expanding the details on the overview page, I find that there are
errosw with placeholders, escapes, printf() and XML tags.

I have installed OpenOffice 4.0.0 English version. Is it possible to
import the swedish translations into it to test them?
Below some specific questions in order to understand to continue the work.
Q1 Placeholders
English Swedish
Currently:
[Default Language] -> [Standardspråk]
[M] -> [E]
What would be correct? I guess the text within square brackets should
not be translated.
Q2 Escapes
The column *"$column$"* could not be changed. Should the column instead
be deleted and the new format appended?
-> (Currently)
Det gick inte att ändra kolumnen *"\\$column\\$"*. Ska den i stället
raderas och det nya formatet bifogas?
>> (Should it be like this?)
Det gick inte att ändra kolumnen *"$column$"*. Ska den i stället raderas
och det nya formatet bifogas?

Läs det fullständiga licensavtalet. Använd rullningslisten eller knappen
*Rulla nedåt* i dialogrutan om du vill se hela licensavtalet.

Q3 printf()
%PRODUCTNAME% %PRODUCTVERS*I**O**N% Er**ro*r Report
-> (now)
%PRODUCTNAME% %PRODUCTVERS*IO**N%-fe**lr*apportering
>> (better?)
%PRODUCTNAME% %PRODUCTVERS*IO**N% fe**lr*apportering
It seems like printf() reacts on a hyphen directly after a %% expression.
In Swedish we juxtapose many words together to form a long word (like in
German). We do not have spaces between words in many cases.
Will printf() fail with the hyphen just after the %% expression?
Q4 XML tags
*DisplayHID*
-> (now)
*{0>DisplayHID<}0{>DisplayHID<0}*
>> (better? alt1)
*DisplayHID *
>> (better? alt2)
*Visa HID*
There are many control signs inserted in the Swedish translation. Should
they be there, or not? At many places there are this type of
construction of control signs. Are they serving a purpose, or should
they be corrected?
Is DisplayHID a 'product name' so it should be left untranslated, or
should 'display' be translated into Swedish?

I also give the links to where the translations are for clarity.
