I suppose you are talking about the console.

In /etc/rc.conf you should put (or change) a line containing

KEYMAP=sv-latin1

For X it's  Option "XkbLayout" "se" in xorg.conf, and you can also set it from a terminal with `setxkbmap se`

Welcome to Arch Linux.  Beware of posting to ancient threads

I somehow doubt they care some five years latter .  Also, things certainly have changed since the original post.
