Well, I¨'m Finnish, although Swedish is my motherthoungue, but I'm not
sure if you were including me into the 'Swedes' you mentioned. I have to
say I have a hard time deciphering your message, and I'm not sure if I
got your point. I just wanted to comment on:

RUBBLE?!? I'm sorry, but no, I don't pardon your language (the 'sh*t'
part was the least offencive). And actually, when I was a kid I would
have been much more interested in getting the character's names in
Japanese, Arabic or what have you 'rubble' language than in the Nordic
languages, as even then I had the names for at least some of the main
characters in all Nordic languages (I'm pretty sure they were mentioned
several times in Aku Ankka, but I might be wrong).

the ancient ones... oh, and Klingon!
