Your locale is obviously set to Swedish, so it's correct for pgAdmin to 
come up swedish initially. W do can't detect the language of the OS 
version.

Unfortunately Swedish is one of the language that's orphaned, i.e. the 
previous language maintainer can't continue the work. Do you know 
somebody who could do that? About 250 strings are left, easy work with 
poedit.

It's not been finally decided whether to ship those incomplete languages 
or not. Currently, we'd lose about 12 languages we had been shipping 
with V1.0. Incomplete languages might force users to complain about it, 
which in turn might bring up the chance to gain them for translation work.
