"Sure, but then there is two interrogations, but there is only one that have been formally done, at least by me. Where is the second interrogation going then?

If this is gonna be rightly done, I guess you'll have to edit the original interrogation/transcript and sign it.

With the risk of sounding annoying, I don't want to have a unsigned document in my name, circulating in "dirtvärymdän" (CapableWeb: not sure what that is...), especially not when the matter developed like it did."

Think that's it, in terms of editing any interrogations/transcripts. Let me know if there is any specific parts you want translated.

Edit: reversed the order, so first email is in the top and last one in the bottom

The text says "durtvårymden", and the latter part rymden, in context, is likely best translated to "ether". Ie, they don't want their name to be circulating in the ... ether. I would guess Durtvå is either a misspelling or a specific network.

Update: Did a google (should have done that earlier) and got back an answer: Durtvå is the "Datoriserad utredningsrutin med tvångsmedelshantering" system. Translated to english I would call it the computerized investigation and police action system.

My guess is that the police have some internal name for communication between police <> outside or possibly journalists. At least that's what I gather from the context, they don't want this to come out in public.

> Update: Did a google

I see! I did some searches as well but came back empty handed. Thanks for figuring it out!

ether = aether = "a medium that was once supposed to fill all space and to support the propagation of electromagnetic waves". This definitely suggests that what their trying to communicate here is that they don't want to see their names circulating on mediums like the Internet or other oldschool broadcasting mediums like newspapers, radio and television.

In Swedish, "rymden" kan also refer to just the "space" or "attention" really. It doesn't imply any public space really, just any space.
Re:Swedish speakers of HN: Please check if testimony on Assa... by yencabulator on Monday February 10, 2020 @12:13PM (#22290989)
One way to look at the use of "space" there is that an English speaker would say "room", as in "chat room".

Sorry, but could you reorder your paragraphs so they would be chronological in regard to the timestamps? I would do it myself, but it would not be appropriate as I do not understand Swedish.

As far as I realize the chronological order is from the bottom up, in both the PDF and your comment, which is possibly confusing. A problem is that the AM/PM period modifiers seem to be missing, though.

EDIT: also could you comment on the untranslated parts around the ones that you translated; what are they about, approximately?

EDIT2: sorry again, but I think you put 2019 in some timestamps by mistake, could you correct that, please?

> Sorry, but could you reorder your paragraphs

Yeah, done. Also added the timestamps to be extra clear.

> A problem is that the AM/PM period modifiers seem to be missing, though

No, it's not missing, Sweden don't use AM/PM, there is only a 24 hour clock. So all the times are either in the morning or during the night.

> also could you comment on the untranslated parts around the ones that you translated; what are they about, approximately?

Sure. First six pages is just police yadda yadda about the freedom of information request. Other parts are about making the requests secret as journalists are trying to get out information, confirming addresses, comments on deciding on meeting times with some lawyer, some "Linda viassgren" doesn't want to speak with the police and similar stuff. Nothing interesting really.

Sorry about that, old habits are hard to kill. Fixed that too.

Looks like "endast ett formellt forhor som ??? tillatits, av mig iaf" -- only one formal interrogation that has been authorized, by me anyway. But the OCR is really bad. Good job with the translation!

Edit: no, it's not, should have looked at the graphical version!

Re:Swedish speakers of HN: Please check if testimony on Assa... by capableweb on Saturday February 01, 2020 @08:08AM (#22210301)
It's not "tillats", it's "hallits" (missing right keyboard setup right now). See https://imgur.com/a/eRbfe11 and the full document here: https://data.ddosecrets.com/file/Assange/Assange-Sthlm-polis...

Also, translation was not done from the OCR but manually, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22210259

If you want to help with translating, take a look at the PDF: although the OCR is bad, the included scanned text is supposedly OK for humans to read.
Re:Swedish speakers of HN: Please check if testimony on Assa... by jaclaz on Saturday February 01, 2020 @09:09AM (#22210558)
Exclusively about date/times, this seems like the correct sequence (older to newer):

1 > 8/23/2010 8:27

2 > 8/24/2010 1:38

3 > 8/24/2010 1:44

4 > 8/24/2010 4:35

5 > 8/24/2010 9:33

Which should imply that there has been some other communication through other means between #1 and #2.

Re:Swedish speakers of HN: Please check if testimony on Assa... by kobbe on Saturday February 01, 2020 @08:36AM (#22210426)
Maybe the last part should also be included? The last reply is "yes, but I will write a pm about it". This is the answer to the statement about there being two interigations if she creates a new one.

Maybe we can request that PM?

Re:Swedish speakers of HN: Please check if testimony on Assa... by _-___________-_ on Saturday February 01, 2020 @10:04AM (#22210822)
I think in this context PM is short for promemoria which means "memo", as in, "yes but I'll write a[n explanatory] memo about it"
