Hi,
Thanks for the dedication.
I translated mybb 1.28 to swedish one year ago. I installed 1.402 today and tested my old translation. I checked the basic functionality and it works fine. I am glad, because I have no time to re-translate it. However, in order to use 1.28 translation on 1.4 I needed to do some fixes to the old language pack.
Whoever decides to reuse the 1.28 translation for 1.402 (continuing translating it or not), follow these instructions:
1) Install mybb 1.42 (1.44 works too)
2) Get
this file. This is a language-copy from my instalation, just install it as you would with any other language-pack.
3) You may want the
swedish image buttons (The directory "swedish" should be placed in [yourMybbDir]/images).
NOTE: Installing the ported version will translate MOST of the system, but some new pars will show the new english text-strings instead.
By the way, here are the changes, 1.29 compared with 1.402 (this can be for good use if you are deciding to reuse the 1.28-9 translation.)

Why making a port from 1.28 to 1.4x?
First: The port is to use in the wait for a full translation.
Also: If you use 1.28 translation for 1.402, it will not show the new variables in Admin CP->Language -> Options -> Edit Language Variables, so you can't translate them... This is because the new variables, of course, does not exist in the old translation. By using the ported files, you will be able to translate them, or at least use the english texts if you do not want to translate (instead of having empty strings showing up in your mybb instalation)
Warning: Some text-strings have been changed, I can see that from the comparison (linked to above). This port I have made, ignores these changes, and uses the swedish translated text-strings based on 1.28's english text-strings.
You may chose to translate from scratch or continue translate the ported version.
