Re: [docbook] Change proposal for swedish localization

Could I ask the Swedish speakers on the list to confer and recommend
a single default value for this item?  Keep in mind that it can
always be customized to suit other tastes.  We just need to
settle on one value as the default.  Thanks.

The translation depends on the context. I only use a fraction of docbook
so I'm not sure of all places where it occurs in docbook. Examples would
help.

"Obs." or  "Observera" is often used to call the readers attention in
swedish
text, where "Note" would be used in english.

Observera: Samma ord översätts olika i olika sammanhang.
Notera: Samma ord översätts olika i olika sammanhang.
Not: Samma ord översätts olika i olika sammanhang.
