Hello Christian,
The Regional Format section changes the way Date and Time are shown,
but only changes the voice within the language the phone is set to. To
change to Swedish, you have to go to Language instead, and there you
can set any of the languages available on the phone.

Not as far as I can tell. I'm in France and use the UK setting for the
voice some of the time, and the French voice at others,
I'm told that the date format is affected by the regional settings, so
if you're a north American and change to UK (perhaps Oz as well?),
you'll get European date format, i.e. day/month/year. I actually
prefer this, so no big deal to me.
