Buying a translated book

It depends. Can you read the original language?

Yes the original language of the book is English. I would prefer the Swedish version though but it costs way more (English: 6 pounds, Swedish: 30 pounds) I'm just wondering if there's a difference in the meaning, maybe some things will make more sense in its original language?

There might be some things lost in translation, so I think if you are fluent in the original language of a particular type of media, you'd do well to experience it in its original format. Especially in your case, with that price difference.

That said, you might find it interesting to read the original English, then go to a library and read a Swedish copy, and compare the two.

You're obviously here because you want someone to make things clear for you, so here it is
READING TRANSLATIONS MAKES YOU LESS GOOD

I have a pretty high vocabulary in my own language, because I've read books for fun almost my entire life. I think OP that you should buy the English one, the more English you read, the easier it will be.

So many books get translated into English that you'll have a leg up on all the other Swede fags who have to wait decades for a Swedish translation that may or may not ever come.
