Hey there!

\usepackage[swedish]{babel}

in Texmaker. (Jag är bäst in Texmaker gives Jag r bst when I compile the code)

Your problem is not solved by using babel, which is why the output was incorrect (unless you got a specific error, babel is most probably installed on your system).

Add instead

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

I don't know what this line does but it solved my problem. Thank you.

LaTeX normally can only deal with the standard ASCII characters. To get, for instance, ä, you need to input

\"a

The package inputenc allows one to work with an extended characterset, such that characters like å, ä, ô, é, etc., are handled correctly.
