First I didn't understand your comment at all, but now I've been looking into this. When I translated the sentence, I only saw the Greek translation (I had chosen to translate Greek sentences not yet translated into Swedish). And the Greek sentence definitely says "I don't have many books". Funny thing is, when using Google translate, "δεν έχω πολλά βιβλία" is incorrectly translated to "I have many books". Very strange! When translating only "δεν έχω πολλά", Google translate does a good job, and the translation is "I don't have". But as soon as I add a word after "δεν έχω πολλά", the negation is lost. That is wrong. In the opposite direction, from English to Greek, "I don't have many books" gets correctly translated ("δεν έχω πολλά βιβλία").

However, when I looked at the other nodes for this sentence, the Greek sentence (and now my Swedish translation) are the only ones who seem to mean "I don't have many books". All others say "I have many books". I added the correct translation, and I should probably remove this one. But it's still the correct translation for the Greek sentence, so the right way would probably be to disconnect the Greek sentence? I have no idea how to solve this...

All suggestions are welcome!

Now the Greek sentence is back to the right translation : "I have many books". You can correct also the Swedish to the right meaning. Thanks again.
