your system (if properly installed in the first place) already has a
substantial bunch of stuff aimed at support of swedish.

you need to start by integrating swedish hyphenation into your system
(this may involve downloading the hyphenation patterns, a 34k file).

see http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=newlang

the actual sehyph.tex, if it's not already on your system, is to be
found at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/language/hyphenation/sehyph.tex

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

in your latex files, will enable fonts that will permit accents in words
with inflected characters in them.

then

\usepackage[swedish]{babel}

will set up latex to use swedish conventions (including swedish words
for things like chapters).
