Den här artikeln borde skapas på svenska också! Aaker 16:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to translate, Aaker. This is only a spin-off article from a big one I'm working on in a sandbox here, which was getting too long. Bishonen | talk 17:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Nice work! I would translate it if I were a better translator. Actually I don't think translation is the rigth way to as long as you aren't a proffesional translator because it's too easy to make misstakes. It is often much better to paraphrase the information. Unfortunately I don't have time enough to paraphrase the entire article either. Aaker 09:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What's the Swedish name of the commission? Aaker 09:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Emigrationsutredningen. That's the name for both the investigative body—the Commission—and their published report. Well, you'll know that's how the word "utredning" is used. In fact, I ought to give that name in this article. [/me goes to do so]]. I expect there is some long, bureaucratic official name, but Barton (my source) doesn't give it, or at least I can't find it there. Bishonen | talk 13:40, 23 June 2007 (UTC).[reply]
