QSL on that. :)

QSL! Just remembered that you mentioned this modification earlier.

I suspected that this might be a problem. As mentioned below It concerns
the links.adoc and license.adoc files.
The reason for doing corrections in the links-file is that the
corresponding links in the text in the English user guide uses words in
sentences, ex. "Click here for more information" where the word "here"
contains the link. Since that the user guide is in Swedish the English word
"here" does´nt really fit in.. ;)
I just realized that this might be solved by adding new posts of links but
tagged to fit with a Swedish version. This will leave the English links
texts as they are just adding links to other languages. Is this an
acceptable way to solve it?
I think I´ll restore the original links-file and just add on the required
links with a tag for the Swedish translation. Just to try it locally.

Ok, for the time being It might be better to leave the text as it is
according to the GPL v3 in English.
There might be a Swedish version but as you said, It might not be necessary.

QSL! I´ll do that after we sorted out and agreed how to handle the common
files.
Depending on how to solve the issue it might need some more tweaking in the
files.. :)
