Have a look at the locale(7) man page. It describes macros for use by a
programmer, but each of those macros also corresponds to an environment
variable. You can accomplish what you describe by settting all the LC_*
variables (or perhaps LC_ALL) to your Swedish locale and then setting
LANG to an English language locale.
