Uh. Do you find any other language disgusting ( :-// ), or do you just find the translations themselves usually so poor that they are disgusting?

It's not that the translation it self is bad, it's just that the swedish language just doesn't work well with certain subjects. Like talking about computers, programming, cars, electronics etc most technical things, the translations are just bad and you can't do much about it.
So because computers, programming, cars and electronics are all things I spend my free time on and thus read, write and talk alot about over the internet and IRL. That's why I really don't want websites translated, if it's written in English it should stay in English.

Yes you are. Websites should be on the local language. It would be VERY boring if everything was in english.

They should be in whatever language they were initially written in with options to translate it to whatever language someone would want to.

Swedish works very well in those areas, It is just that some people automatically assume this regarding Swedish. English has polluted the minds of many in Sweden, just hear how many pronounce the word 'Euro' wrong.

What is the correct Swedish pronunciation? The pronunciations I'm familiar with are English ("your oh"), Spanish/Italian/etc ("eh oo ro"), French ("er oh"), and German ("oy ro").

The correct Swedish pronunciation is something like "eh uh ro" or "eh v ro" (both are correct) but people often pronounce it like in English.
