Comment:
Thanks a lot for the sample project. I'm reopening at least for the
missing documentation which should tell that `get_language_info` and
`get_language_info_list` only return information for languages included in
Django.
In your specific use case, I would simply rewrite your language selector
as:
{{{
<select name="language" class="custom-select" id="lang_selection">
{% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
{% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
{% for code,lang_name in LANGUAGES %}
<option value="{{ code }}" {% if code == LANGUAGE_CODE %}
selected{% endif%}>
{{ lang_name }} ({{code}})</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
}}}
If we wanted custom languages data entering Django's `LANG_INFO`, it would
require some deeper refactoring with language data embedded somewhere
inside the locale folders (maybe in `__init__.py`?). Don't know if it's
really worth the effort…
