The Swedish file has no defined plural forms.

"Plural-Forms: nplurals=INTEGER; plural=EXPRESSION;\n"
should be
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);\n"

$ msgfmt -c --statistics sv/messages.po
msgfmt: (null): warning: PO file header fuzzy
                warning: older versions of msgfmt will give an error on this
messages.po:8: invalid nplurals value
messages.po:8: some header fields still have the initial default value
messages.po:712: 'msgstr' is not a valid C format string, unlike
'msgid'. Reason: The string ends in the middle of a directive.
msgfmt: found 3 fatal errors
365 translated messages, 18 fuzzy translations, 6 untranslated messages.


There is also an error on line 712

#: xmlcopyeditor.cpp:2514^M
#, c-format^M
msgid "Document%i"^M
msgstr "Dokument%1"^M

Should of course be %i

Never ever use a PO editor to update translation templates.
The editor will make changes to the header (such as Last-Translator)
Instead, use msgmerge for the gettext tools.
