The language de_CH actually exists in conf/locale, but there is no
language info in conf/locale/__init__.py.

Background: The automatic detection of the language fails if there is no
entry in __init__.py. Additionally, providing a translated list of
languages to the user is impossible without full manual override. The
problems are described as well in
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/32737. The problem was never solved
since the requested languages were not official languages.
Since de_CH is an offical Django language, it should be ok to fix in the
way proposed in https://github.com/django/django/pull/21100.

(Sorry, if this is not a proper ticket. I'm not (yet) used to provide
input.)

Hi, thanks for following up with a ticket.

Replying to [ticket:37333 Reto Fahrni]:

> ...

Looking closer, it appears that `de_CH` is a special case. It exists in
`conf/locale` only for the purpose of providing alternative formats for
number separators and the like. There is no `LC_MESSAGES` folder with
translations underneath it.

Given that, I feel uncertain following the chain of reasoning that it
should be included in `LANG_INFO`, following ticket:37237#comment:1. And
if we did, what are the backward compatibility implications?

cc'ing other Swiss users who might be able to weigh in.

Btw, Vizzard, retfah already had a PR but just neglected to self-assign.

Sorry, I just don't know how to use the ticketing system correctly. I'm
not used to it (yet).
