Welcome.

The sv translation is handled by the Translation Project and as you showed it's actively supported, but is only 2/3 complete. Please contact the TP coordinators if you want to help complete that translation. Depending upon how similar are the forms of written Swedish between Sweden and Finland it may well make the most sense to make your sv_AX and sv_FI translations derivative on the main one, in which case it would be best to coordinate them through the TP as well.

A Swedish translation of the Finnish account plans should be submitted directly, either with a bug report and patch, Github pull request, or attaching a tgz of the file to a post here.
