You do not have to be fluent in Swedish to read these records! They have a limited vocabulary: mother, father, born, bride, groom, married, etc. The rest of the content will be names, dates, and places, which do not need translation.
This Swedish Word List covers typical terms found in the records.
Swedish Historical Dictionary Database, SHDD: This interactive dictionary allows you to enter a word in the search box and receive the translation.
Feast Day Calendar (Moveable) and Feast Day Lists (Fixed and Moveable) will help you translate dates written in feast day form.
Sweden surnames are patronymic and change every generation, so carefully study Sweden Names, Personal.
For help with reading the column headings found in more recent records, see Swedish Parish Register and Household Exam Roll Headings.
