Another reason why there isn't a Swedish voicebank is because do a new languages takes a LOT OF TIME.

VoctroLabs needed around 1 and a half years to develop the Spanish Phonetic System, and after they needed various runs and tests for perfect it. Each language must be treated with different Phonemic approach, the idea is make it easy to use for the users of the intended language. It's for that reason why the Korean utilizes romanized Hangul instead the typical X-SAMPA based symbology.

To that you must add the Swedish has a reduced marketing target in comparison to the 5 languages available for V3. It isn't profitable
