 The Vasa Bible is often considered to be a reasonable compromise between old and new ; while not adhering to the colloquial spoken language of its day , it was not overly conservative in its use of archaic forms . It was a major step towards a more consistent Swedish orthography . It established the use of the vowels " å " , " ä " , and " ö " , and the spelling " ck " in place of " kk " , distinguishing it clearly from the Danish Bible , perhaps intentionally , given the ongoing rivalry between the countries . All three translators came from central Sweden which is generally seen as adding specific Central Swedish features to the new Bible .
