This page mentions inexistent collation names:
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/databases/#collation-settings]
`utf8_general_ci_swedish` and `utf8_collation_ci_swedish` are not real
collations names.
I believe the author was confusing the default collations for `latin1` and
`utf8` charsets.
The default collation for the `latin1` charset is `latin1_swedish_ci`.
The default collation for the `utf8` charset is `utf8_unicode_ci`.
The mistakes persist in the latest dev documentation
([https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/databases/#collation-
settings])
While we're at it, may I suggest to abandon `utf8` in favour of `utf8mb4`?
The details deserve a separate ticket for discussion, so I'll create a new
ticket and link here.
