Limitations of the provided locale formats
==========================================
Some locales use context-sensitive formats for numbers, which Djangos
localization system cannot handle automatically.
Switzerland (German)
--------------------
The Swiss number formatting depends on the type of number that is being
formatted. For monetary values, a comma is used as the thousand separator and
a decimal point for the decimal separator, for all other numbers, a comma is
used as decimal separator and a space as thousand separator. The locale format
provided by Django uses the generic separators, a comma for decimal and a space
for thousand separators.
