Comment:
While this is certainly an odd situation, we really can't do something
about this at this stage of the release cycle. It **is** technical correct
to redirect to /en/de/ if German isn't listed in the list of languages.
This may be fixed by also checking the global list of languages supported
by Django, but this will again break if a language is tried that Django
itself doesn't support. Introducing a setting just to handle this case
seems like a bad idea, too.
The suggestion to make this error handling pluggable seems like a good
idea at first, too, but then I realized that we only provide this kind of
extensibility for specific HTTP level errors, e.g. handler404, handler500
etc. I'm at loss how we could convince ourselves to make an exception for
this use case.
That said, I'm accepting this ticket as a limitation of the current
implementation but remove the release blocker label.
