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.
