Comment (by cristianocca):
Hmmm, what about the use case where your msgids are in a different
language than your default language setting? This is pretty much the
reason of the hardcoded english for django.
Example again:
- default language = spanish
- msgids language = russian (russian developers making an spanish site)
- requested language = english, if you don't have an english
catalog/translation you expect to fall into the default language (as it
would with any other language that's not english).
- Actual result --> russian msgids rather than spanish translated values
because default language is never loaded.
Perhaps there can be a simplified note, something like: "Keep in mind that
due to certain framework limitations, when an english variant is
requested, it will not load the default language and will end up returning
msgids if a catalog or translation is not available"
