That website probably does not have live versions of the translations but
are updated when there is a new product release.

It could be possible to add support to Launchpad to download several PO
files instead of a single one (through e-mail) as it is now.
It might be difficult to implement because such a task would require quite
some processing power to extract the live translations.
Probably someone from the Launchpad team can provide some more input.

At least for the packages that are listed at
http://projects.davidplanella.org/stats/utopic/
it should be feasible for David to add links to tarballs of the
translations.
Because the scripts he is using have access to the live versions of the PO
files.

Another way to solve the issue would be to clone all the repositories that
you are interested in,
then select the sv.po files (in your case) that are of interest. It's not
too difficult,
and can be achieve by writing a script.
What is needed as input is the list of packages and the correct branch name.
Is there such a list of packages available?
Is there such a list for the packages shown at
http://projects.davidplanella.org/stats/utopic/ ?
