- Sure there is, man. The "easy" way is to just keep the swedish locale files
- for the programs you want to have translated, and use the standard language
- for the rest. And, if you want to have multiple foreign languages + english,
- add more countries before english in the locale prefs. It shouldn't be hard to
- have whatever program in any language. Hey, I've just deleted the AmIRC
- swedish locale file, because almost EVERYTHING is misspelled. Makes me think a
- norwegian translated it, or something. ;)
