Subject: Beata as a nickname for Beatrice?

I have an ancestor named Beata (sometimes appears as Beatea). She is Swedish. I was doing some research and came accross her in a record where she was listed as Beatrice. Is Beata also a nickname for Beatrice in Sweden, or is it more likely that it was a mistake in translation?
