OK, I know what i did wrong,
When Working on non English site contents its important to convert the language file of your choice (swedish.php)to the correct format, that is in my case to UTF-8, this looks like its the default for Joomla 1.2.
you can do this by downloading notepad ++
sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus
Create a new file in Notpad and select:
* Format
* Encoder in ANSI
* Mark Encoder in UTF-8 (without BOM)
* Then copy your old file
* Save to swedish.php (change to your Language)
Thanks to Zello.
