Right. But that "flaw" in the translation-check script doesn't mean
you should work against your co-maintainers of the page! If you don't
base your translation on the swedish original you SHOULD NEVER EVER
change the translation-check header to swedish! *aaargh*

And the first is BROKEN, for you don't translate from the swedish one
but from the english one! translation-check doesn't work that way!

No, it's the _sole_ matter for the translation-check header.
You've found a nice bug in the translation-check script here, but your
approach to workaround it is flawed completely. DON'T DO THAT!
*aargh*
