Summary

This PR adds a comprehensive English version of the README to make the project more accessible to international contributors and users.

Changes

  • README_EN.md: New comprehensive English documentation

    • Full translation of all sections
    • Detailed "Swedish Legal Terminology" section explaining all Swedish terms
    • Translation tables for selex attributes and metadata fields
    • Inline explanations for Swedish field names in code examples
    • Cultural context about Swedish legal system for English readers
  • README.md: Added language switcher link to English version

Key Features

The English README includes extensive explanations of Swedish legal terminology:

  • Core concepts (SFS, beteckning, lopnummer, rubrik)
  • Lifecycle terms (ikraft, upphor, tidsbegränsad, upphävd)
  • Document structure (avdelning, kapitel, paragraf)
  • Amendment concepts (ändringsförfattningar, övergångsbestämmelser)
  • Selex attributes and their meanings
  • Common Swedish phrases with translations

All technical field names remain in Swedish (as they match source data), but are thoroughly explained for English readers.

Test Plan

  • Verify README_EN.md renders correctly on GitHub
  • Check all links work (cross-references between READMEs)
  • Confirm language switcher links function properly
  • Review terminology explanations for accuracy and clarity
