The subtitled language is svenska and the translation is very good but you have to take into account that all the swedish speak a very good english. They are also good in german and there are many who also speak french. The explanation is that their plan of studies gives big importance to languages and it is compulsory to study english at school, two years after starting with english, they start studying german and two years after this, they can choose between french and spanish.
I think that being 6 or 7 million of swedish speaking people, it's clever to study other languages.
I apologize for this "rollo" and hope to have answered your question.

Hi Susana! You sure answered the question (I knew you would), and please don't apologize for anything. What you said is no sermon, but rather a collection of interesting and relevant facts.

And I knew you knew I would.
Thank you for the translation to "rollo".
By the way, there are already 9 million of inhabitants in Sweden, although not all of them speak swedish. There are 3 or 4 different languages spoken by ethnic minorities such as lapps, finish, etc.
