-----------------------------------------+------------------------
When using for example the setting `LANGUAGE_CODE="de-ch"`, the
autocomplete_field widget will be in English as select2 does not provide
the specific regional translation for "de-ch". However the existing
translation language "de" would be a much better approximation.

I suggest using the language without region from the LANGUAGE_CODE in case
an exact match can not be found.
