On windows, Inkscape takes your system language and uses it. I don't know how to make it use English on a Windows set to a different language. Change your system language setting and it should work.
Now, if you wanted all your menus to be in Swedish, then you could help by translating the rest of untranslated messages. See http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TranslationInformation for details.
It is winXP english version so the main language is english. However i'm not sure how the systemlanguage is defined and where to change it.
I prefer runing program in english and many of my friends do as well. So an convineint way of changing the language would be nice.
Of course it worked to just copy the uk language file to the sv directory. However it's just an hack, but it works ;)

I don't think it's our responsibility to try to override that setting -- if you want English, I think the correct approach is to set the system locale.
On Windows XP, I believe the way to do this is to go to Control Panel, look for the "Date, Time, Langauge and Regional Options" section.
Then pick "Regional and Language Options".
On the "Regional Options" tab, make sure that English is selected. Also make sure English is selected on the "Advanced" tab.

Ok thanks for the help. However what I meant it would be nice to able to override the setting in the program or when you install it. Perhaps usa a current language file and just copy the aproriate file there at instalation or something.

The whole point of a Locale setting is to *OBVIATE* (remove the need for) implementing locale / language configuration in each application.
If you want to override the locale on a per-application basis, use the method you previously described.

PS: Perhaps you'd like to document that on the Inkscape wiki, so that other polyglot Windows users can do the same thing.

deleting (or otherwise (re)moving) the swedish tranlsation would work equally well, as the (American) English will then show through. it is probably the easiest way to do it.
uk is or should be ukranian, not English. English should be en (or possibly en-US, en-GB, or even en_GB).
