[Talk-se] Swedish translation requested

[Mike Collinson]

Thank you all for your help.

I've used the simple and safe "Den fria världskartan" for a first poster. Thanks to Lars Aronsson, Wikimedia Sverige are very kindly making space available at their booth at the Gothenburg Book Fair, September 24-27.

I will post it and some examples using other ideas on the wiki for you to look at. As Ture says, this is advertising copy. What works in one language looks strange in another.

Mike
