    It depends on the brand of laptop mostly. I know that for most Dell laptops, one can find keyboards on Ebay or from aftermarket retailers. If you can locate a Swedish keyboard for your notebook, then you can change it. Locating one will be the difficult part.

    I suggest you contact your laptop's manufacturer first to see what they can do. Otherwise look around for some aftermarket sellers. Be careful though.

    That's probably what I would do. It would be too much work trying to find a Sweedish keyboard somewhere other than from Asus. Someone else here may know more about how to get other languages keyboards than me though.

    Well judging from your current keyboard responses---yes.
