I got it working like this. It will be interesting to
see if it works out.

(quail-define-package "swedish-quail" "Swedish" "Swedish quail")

(quail-define-rules
 ("0A" ?Å) ("0a" ?å)
 (":A" ?Ä) (":a" ?ä)
 (":O" ?Ö) (":o" ?ö) )
(set-input-method 'swedish-quail) ;; add this to text-mode-hook etc.

In the docstring to the `quail-define-package', there
is an optional argument described like this:

;; GUIDANCE specifies how a guidance string is shown in
;; echo area.  If it is t, list of all possible
;; translations for the current key is shown with the
;; currently selected translation being highlighted.
;; If it is an alist, the element has the form (CHAR
;; . STRING).  Each character in the current key is
;; searched in the list and the corresponding string is
;; shown.  If it is nil, the current key is shown.

However, is it not possible to entirely disable the
echo area fanfare? I think it is just disruptive.
