I am writing thesis in english but I want to be able to use swedish letters. I use
\usepackage[swedish]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
This works fine, I thought, but I now noticed that all the captions (table, fig etc) use the swedish form "Figur" instead of "Figure" and "Tabell" instead of "Table".
Any ideas on how to achieve the english form of captions and still be able to use swedish letters in the text?

If you write mainly in English and have only certain parts in Swedish (e.g. abstract) you should use
as the last language will be the document default language.
You can now switch languages with
or
Note: With the input encoding
latin1
(orutf8
for that matter) you are able to directly input ä, Ä, ö, Ö, å and Å. (But you can/should still usebabel
for hyphenation.)
