Swedish substitute list contains 1 extra letter

See original GitHub issue

I was interested to why Swedish was included but none of the other Scandinavian languages and I spotted a letter I have never seen in Swedish before Ë. There is also no mention of Swedish on Wikipedia (English nor Norwegian or Swedish version).

// Disabled as it conflicts with German and Latin.
// Swedish
// ['å', 'o'],
// ['Å', 'o'],
// ['ä', 'a'],
// ['Ä', 'A'],
// ['ë', 'e'], <-- does not exist in any Scandinavian language
// ['Ë', 'E'], <-- does not exist in any Scandinavian language
// ['ö', 'o'],
// ['Ö', 'O'],

I’m Danish, lived in Sweden and speak Swedish. Currently I live in Norway and are picking up Norwegian as well.

If you want to get support for the rest of the Scandinavian languages, you are in luck. Both Norwegian and Danish share letters and translation to Latin letters, although we do not pronounce Latin letters the same.

Norwegian and Danish:

['æ', 'ae'],
['Æ', 'Ae'],
['ø', 'oe'],
['Ø', 'Oe'],
['å', 'aa'],
['Å', 'Aa'],

@martinfjant should be:

	// Swedish
	['å', 'a'],
	['Å', 'A'],
	['ä', 'a'],
	['Ä', 'A'],
	['ö', 'o'],
	['Ö', 'O'],

right?

#2 Would have to be fixed before any of this take any effect though…

Oh, I should have caught this myself. I’m Norwegian…
