Configured region not honored with de-informal language
Problem and impact
When setting my user account’s language to de-informal, the configured region (CH) is no longer honored for formatting money values, e.g. in the orders page.
Expected behaviour
No response
Steps to reproduce
- Configure region to CH
- Configure language to de; orders page lists “CHF 97.56” (with dots)
- Configure language to de-informal; orders page lists “97,56 CHF” (with commas)
Looking at the code, I think the problem is that the language function treats “informal” as a region: https://github.com/pretix/pretix/blob/6bf23b0fddbac3aa8df6f81db35c91fdcc058aba/src/pretix/base/i18n.py#L146-L154

I'll look into it but it might be not fixable the way the informal variant is implemented, it's basically a fake region in itself :/
Wouldn’t just removing “-informal” before trying to determine the region fix the problem?
No, the region will not be added to the language in the first place if de-informal is used since "informal" is implemented like a region (think de-de, de-at, de-ch and de-informal)
