Attachment: differences between in-tree localization and Mikael Hiort af Ornäs's localization (see comment 3)

We had an existing, out-of-date Swedish localization in the tree.  These are the differences between the in-tree localization and Mikael's.

Mikael, could you have a look at the diff, and verify your localization?  Specifically, are there any strings where, given a chance to look at the in-tree localization, you feel the original is a better/more consistent translation?

I have reviewed the localisation strings, and think my translation is the better one in the few places the differences actually matters. Mostly due to my translation being consistent throughout, something that the previous wasn't.

I have tried to use standard Windows and Firefox strings where applicable, and also tried to use searchable terms (in e.g. Google or special computer terms dictionaries) when the Swedish translation is uncertain or non-existing. Most of the differences from the previous version has been decided upon those principles.

differences between in-tree localization and Mikael Hiort af Ornäs's localization (see comment 3)

Hello, meandering Bugzilla reader!  This comment is for your convenience.

On 2011/05/21, Mikael e-mailed Shawn explaining that he'd translated DOM Inspector into Swedish, but he didn't know where to go to get the translation into a release.  Shawn forwarded the message to me, Mikael sent me the appropriate files, I made up a diff between the existing in-tree localization and the translation Mikael had made from scratch, then I filed the bug, which is where comment 0 takes off.

Now, having come back to the bug for one reason or another, I was confused by the lack of context for comment 0.  As someone who sometimes finds myself following the changelog paper trail, I am annoyed when it leads back to cryptic, contextless bugs.  So after figuring out for myself what went on here, I am now, in this comment, supplying that context--out of my love for you, meandering Bugzilla reader. :D

And thanks again, Mikael.  Sorry for the bugspam.
