A related factor is that it's very common for even the first iteration of a product to be in English, which means it can start to get international appeal. This is possible partly because even the domestic market is fairly open to English-language products/services, so you don't need to make something in Swedish in order to sell it to Swedish people.

It depends on your target audience. We did our app in english and it didn't catch on in Sweden before we translated it to Swedish.
