@cosullivan a a couple notes:the untranslated bit in the middle might be transcribed wrong, so I wouldn't trust the machine translation. the speaker says it kinda quickly.the word for 'blue' can also mean 'green' (for example, when talking about traffic lights, the light for "go" is referred to as a "blue light"), but probably means 'blue' in this case since there's a separate word for 'green'.they don't specify which coordinate the correction refers to, but i'm guessing the longitude.

@Theduder A spectacular offer which I would take if I did not have German, French, and Korean. I welcome and thank before-and-after translations for the other seven.

@jaxter184 yes, longitude is indeed correct, I have the first four digits for all messages, each message has a different set of coordinates, but share the property N49 1*.* and W122 5*.*

Not sure if you wrote them in order, but the first is not Swedish, it is Dutch.

OK, I will give you that the melody of Dutch is similar to Swedish, but Dutch is neither Nordic nor Scandinavian 😀You can differentiate Dutch from the messed up consonants - Danish and southern Swedish has messed up vowels. Norwegian has an unusual melody and often goes up in the end of the sentence (which can make it sound like they are asking questions all the time.) Icelandic can be spotted by listening for words ending with "-ur", the melody can be very similar to Swedish.That is the shorthand guide to spotting Nordic languages 😁
