Translation not working

I have Joomla 2.5 and downloaded and installed the PhocaMaps. Working fine. Then I wanted to change the "From adress" and "Get route" from English to Swedish so I downloaded the Swedish .ini files and followed directions and placed both files on my server in both the language folder and the admin language folder. However - the translation is not working. Now - instead of showing "From adress" and "Get route" it says: PLG_CONTENT_PHOCAMAPS_FROM_ADDRESS: and PLG_CONTENT_PHOCAMAPS_GET_ROUTE:

I canät even change the language to Swedish in the options in the "Component -> PhocaMaps page". It only lists Enlgish. Why is this? What have I done wrong?
(Yes, I've also checked that both the backend and frontend language is set to Swedish on my Joomla site.

(Here is a link to my contact page where it is wrong. Even the map moved to the left and is now completely misplaced after I installed the translation files...strange! http://www.webbplats.personaliaab.se/index.php/kontakt )

Would appreciate any help or tips!

Hi, there are two language feature:

a) Joomla! language - is language e.g. for administration, etc. - your language must be installed on your system and enabled - the translation must be published and updated - then your language will be displayed.

b) Map language - is language used in the map, which is translated directly by Google Maps. Such language is mostly displayed automatically by user browser's language - if not it can be forced in settings of the Map (if supported by Google)
