Hi

I have a few questions/comments/suggestions on/for the change in the
Swedish translation.

Can you explain 'Val' here? I don't understand it.
I would assume 'Luminance' to be translated to 'Luminans', so Lum as
abbreviation makes sense to me.

"Söker efter" would probably be better.

Perhaps 'Delade Filer'?

I would use 'är', 'blev' is more 'became' than 'is'.

'Karaktärer' is the other kind of characters, the word here is 'tecken'.

I'm not sure about 'val' here. To me 'val' reads more like 'selection'
than 'option'.

I suppose that should be %1 %2 %3.

'binärdata' is one word.

Val again. I don't really have any better suggestion, but it sounds
strange to me.

I believe 'systemövergripande' would be better than 'systembreda'.

[PATCH] po: Update Swedish translation.

Thanks, I'll do the corrections. I mostly trusted the previous 
translator and only changed the parts that were causing the "fuzzy" 
comments.

I translated it as 'Valör' (misled by the "V" in GIMP). GIMP actually 
uses 'Värde'. According to Wikipedia, HSV = NMI, where the I stands for 
'Intensitet'. Which one would be best? What does Windows use?

By the way, what do you think about translating "Verify" in the first 
place? It's some kind of flag, and it's left untranslated in many other 
languages. (See VERIFY command in cmd.exe.)

You're probably right. Does 'flagga' sound any better?

Are you sure? I believe Windows used to have "Filhanteraren" and now 
has "Utforskaren". Also, Wine already has "Registereditorn". They're 
program names, so it makes sense to use the definite forms.

Verify is the name of a command. But here it does not refer to what the 
user has to type to invoke the command so I think translation is ok. 
Also note that whichever policy is selected here should also apply to 
the 'echo' command and maybe others:

#, fuzzy
msgid "Echo is %1\n"
msgstr "Ekot är %s\n"

The program prints ON or OFF anyway, and I'd personally rather see a 
message like "VERIFY är OFF" (or even "VERIFY = OFF") than "Verifiera är 
OFF". Maybe there should be two different messages so that ON and OFF 
could be translated as well.

It's the name of a command, but arguably kind of the name of a flag,
so should probably stay untranslated.
However, to get a meaningful message, we probably should have
something like "Verification mode is disabled" instead of "Verify is
off" for instance, but that will have to wait till after 1.4 release.
