Super Mario Maker and Mario Kart 8 are pretty kid-friendly and you don't really need to understand the language after you find the play button.

Why don't you put the language of the switch to Swedish?
Not all games are translated to Swedish, sadly
Lots of great suggestions, but I'd like to add Captain Toad Treasure Tracker to the list. The puzzles are fun and they encourage you to think outside the box. Not too difficult and you don't really need to understand the language.
What the Golf? worked well for the nephews cause the text doesn't really matter, very simple controls and can play almost all of it on touchscreen (some holes use gyro aiming), a quick play/show to a friend mode and also a funny game. just a warning some holes get hard so they might get frustrated and need help.
Edit forgot to add 2 player vs as well
Ultimate chicken horse is the go to game for my little ones! It's simple and great fun for multiplayer, but not much single player content.
On top of my head:
- Rayman Legends
- Yoshi's Crafted World
- New Super Mario Bros Deluxe
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
My kid (non-English speaking) has played most of these and loved them.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is really good
Mario Kart funkar nästan alltid. Easy to get started with, training settings to do away with frustration, 4-player couch multi.
