[Swedish translation] Not so good Swedish translation in Sailfish Utilities

First of all, the Swedish translation of Load=Ladda is a huge misstake and a fatal missunderstanding, probably made by som translator, that didn't know much about IT and computers, a long time ago. After that, people have just followed without giving it much thought. In IT/computer context, the direct translation should be Load=Lasta. Just take a look at the Norwegian translation of Load=Laste... they got it right. There is also some related Swedish translations at server side, e.g. Load balancing=Lastbalansering, Server load=Serverlast.

As Swedish is a quite complexed language, the direct translation of Reload isn't very suitable for this Sailfish Utilities button, and I would therefore suggest that you change the button text to Bygg om mediadatabasen. That way it will also match the app register button as well as being correct Swedish. Otherwise Uppdatera mediadatabasen should be okay to.

Please, also notice the app register button typo. It should be Bygg om appregistret
