Assuming this holds for other programs as well, you should set the 
LC_MESSAGES variable to C.  If you have control over your system, it is
best to do this in /etc/default/locale, e.g. put the following lines there:

LANG=sv_SV.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=C

Otherwise you can set them in your ~/.bash_profile, but you have to
export them as well.  See locale(7) for details about the LC_*
variables.
