Since you intend to get a flying job you have to, as you said, convert your licenses. That will take some time, but it can be done when you put some money into it.
PM me if you want to know about some schools for doing that.
If you are to learn the language you have your wife as reivax said. And if your out a lot and scouting around and talking to people, maybe doing some parttime studies in swedish you may be able to make a conversation by the time your licenses are done.
The job market is indeed very tough! I wish you the best and PM me if you want some more information.
