(Har postat detta också på en utländsk lista, därav engelska. Tar gärna emot
kompletteringar och synpunkter. --AE)
During Loncon I came in contact with Barbara, who runs this site listing
foreign sf/f translated to English
(http://translatedsf.thierstein.net/tiki-index.php?page=Original%20Languages ).
John-Henri Holmberg also, on one of the panels, had a list of Swedish works
that had been translated. Neither listing seemed complete. I have taken some
time to ransack my memory and google around to add to the available info of
Swedish sf/f available in English.
Below is what I have come up with this far. If anyone has additional info,
please let me know! My scribblings are in different formats, from different
sources. The above mentioned web site wants:
English title, Swedish title , translator, published year (orig & transl),
format (hb, pb, tp, magazine, E-book), publisher, ISBN/BN ID /ASIN (hm, I don't
even know what "BN ID" or "ASIN" is...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ajvide_Lindqvist has more info
(Barbara says she isn't interested to list horror, but I often find it
difficult to seperate horror from what we call fantasy.)

(University of Wisconsin Press, 1966)
Björn Nyberg (with L Sprague de Camp): The Return of Conan (Gnome Press, 1957)

Jan Wallentin:
Strindberg's star (orig Strindbergs stjärna, 2010), translated by Rachel
Willson-Broyles, Viking Adult, 2012
Bertil Falk:
Has had quite a lot of short stories translated (usually by himself) to
English. Here's an article and bibliography:
http://www.bewilderingstories.com/bios/falk_bio.html
The majority will be crime stories, but some are sf (Bertil is an old sf fan) -
I can't say which stories, though.
But The Trepanned Reality (Den trepanerade verkligheten), Under the Green Sun
of Slormor (Under Slomors gröna sol) are sf (they are novels, I've read the
Swedish editions).
Gardar the Riddle-Solver is about a crime-solving viking (bordering fantasy
perhaps?) and about half a dozen are in Bewildering Stories.
Bertil can be asked, through bertilfalk@xxxxxxxxx

Article at http://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/swahn_sven_christer
Öyvind Bernander, "A Plea for Mercy", in Writers of the Future collection 7,
1991 (yeah, that scientology infested publication...)
Some of Astrid Lindgren's work is fantasy (eg The Brothers Lionheart, Ronja the
Robber's Daughter and Mio, My Son), others are not. Article:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrid_Lindgren
And We have Tove Jansson (Moomin), Finn who wrote in Swedish. Article:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tove_Jansson
Children's literature needs consideration, by its very nature much of it is
fantasy. But eg Astrid Lindgren can be read by all ages (in my opinion).
