Make clickable elements more obvious

I needed to translate some text from Swedish to English this morning. Since I don't understand a word in Swedish I went to Google Translate.

After I translated the text I wanted to try translate something from English to Swedish. Since two arrows between language buttons didn't tell me that they are for switching languages I changed languages manually. Sigh!

Wouldn't it be more obvious if we place a text link somewhere below the buttons, like in my example below? Or to use some more meaningful graphic element?

Do you have a better idea on how usability could be improved here?
