Comment:
Indeed, it's weird to have a special case for English.
This dates back to r1560. Unfortunately, the commit message is not
explicit, and it doesn't reference a ticket.
That code was touched several times recently (r14901, r15404, r15441).
#13726 is a good entry point, but I still don't understand very well
what's going on there.
I'll mark this ticket as DDN, because I think we need to check if the
special case is useful, or if it's just an historic artifact.

While investigating this ticket, I noticed there is another explicit
reference to English as the "untranslated language" in
`django.core.management.base.execute()`. The comment dates back to #5898,
which was a refactoring, so it may be even older. It would be nice to
check what's happening there too, and add an helpful comment for future
developers :)
