Comment (by aaugustin):
I think the proper solution is to output
`settings.TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID` when the translation string is
invalid.
I'm against hardcoding a fallback to `'en'`:
- if someone builds a website in Greek and the English translation is
wrong, this doesn't fix the error;
- if someone builds a website in Turkish and the German translation is
wrong, I don't know what happens, but if it works it's a hack :)
Currently, the `'en'` locale is special-cased in only one place:
`django.views.i18n.javascript_catalog`. This has bugged me for a long
time, the implementation is incredibly convoluted, and I still can't
figure out why it's necessary. Apparently, you were involved in #14924, so
you probably know this piece of code better than I do :)
