Thanks for your work, you need to do the translation directly here : crowdin.com/project/kunena-forum
Just said here after that you have created an occount on crowdin like that we can add you as translator on swedish
I’ve completed a full Swedish translation of Kunena and packaged everything into a zipped file. All strings have been carefully reviewed and translated for consistency and clarity.
Where can I send the package so others in the community can benefit from it?
Best regards, Peter
