Here is a summary of the information I have got on SweTeX out of Plain
Tex. SweTeX gives the Swedish special characters by using }{|][\ whereas
<>\ are used for delimiters and escape character.
One approach that has been proposed by Jan K{rrman and Anders Holmberg in
Uppsala and Staffan Romberg in Stockholm is to use a macro (or macros).
They are available on anonymous ftp on albireo.tdb.uu.se (130.238.136.6)
on the directory pub/tex/swetex. In modes.tex that is the most important
of the files I recommend adding \let\SweTeX=\swedishmode
\let\noSweTeX=\usmode since SweTeX is SweTeX and nothing but SweTeX.
This file also contains macros to input SweTeX macro in a TeX code
and in reverse.
Per Foreby in Lund has two proposals. Either one uses SLaTeX that follows
the Swedish ISO-626 character standard or uses TeX 3.14 (that allows
8-bit characters) together with dc fonts containing the Swedish
characters according to the cork standard. Both SLaTeX and the dc fonts
is available on ftp.efd.lth.se:/pub/tex.
Bj|rn Lisper in Stockholm gave me two lex-files for translation from
SweTeX to TeX and in reverse. On unix systems (and some others) they can
be lexed giving a c-program that eventually gives a filter to be put in a
pipeline for the translation.
Dov Grobgeld in Rechovot has found file named styles-and-macros.Index.Z
available by anonymous ftp at menora.weizmann.ac.il. This information
contains information about a file named swedish.sty that is a Babel
document-style option which provides support for typesetting in Swedish.
