Hello.
I just joined this list. My first "contribution" was to point
out that the Swedish translation file
http://translationproject.org/PO-files/sv/gnucash-2.6.2.sv.po
had not made it into the build.
I am mainly interested in the Swedish localisation.
Specifically:
Adding sv_AX and sv_FI locales (I live in the sv_AX area)
Adding account plans for them (Probably translate the fi_FI
account plans into Swedish)
Perhaps translate missing Swedish language texts.
CV: I work as a system developer at Crosskey Banking Solutions
with Java, JSP, Struts, etc. I also program and do bookkeeping
in my free time, and recently released a Firefox extension:

Welcome.
The sv translation is handled by the Translation Project and as
you showed it's actively supported, but is only 2/3 complete.
Please contact the TP coordinators if you want to help complete
that translation. Depending upon how similar are the forms of
written Swedish between Sweden and Finland it may well make the
most sense to make your sv_AX and sv_FI translations derivative
on the main one, in which case it would be best to coordinate
them through the TP as well.
A Swedish translation of the Finnish account plans should be
submitted directly, either with a bug report and patch, Github
pull request, or attaching a tgz of the file to a post here.

Hello again.
The first thing I would like to do is adding sv_AX and sv_FI
locales. With that I don't mean translation files (sv_SE is good
enough) but things like currency formatting. When I run Gnucash in
sv_AX amounts are formatted like this: "€5,082.82" but if I use
sv_SE they are formatted correctly. I suppose that Gnucash does not
recognise sv_AX so it uses a fallback (en_US) locale.
How can this be done?
Formatting and so on is done by the operating system, not GnuCash.
See if those locales are available for your OS/Distro and if they are
make sure they're installed. If you're on a Debian derivative, you
must configure the locales you want. See locale-gen(8) for details.
If they're not available, and you're using Unix (including Mac OSX),
you can make them by creating the appropriate directory in
/usr/share/locale and linking the contents from a locale that work
the way you like.
Strange. The locales are available in the Language and Region settings
panel. I select language "Swedish" and region "Finland" and get the
preview "4 567,89 €". Same for region "Åland".
In the terminal I get, respectively
defaults read -g AppleLocale
sv_FI
defaults read -g AppleLocale
sv_AX
Yet when I start Gnucash, the currency is formatted like "€4,567.89".
Only if I select region "Sweden", sv_SE, I get currency formatted like
in the preview.
I checked Gnucash on Windows, and there language Swedish and region
Finland is formatted correctly.
