 remove_accents function removes some special characters only
 conditionally.

 There is a condition like:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 if ( in_array( $locale, array( 'de_DE', 'de_DE_formal', 'de_CH',
 'de_CH_informal', 'de_AT' ), true ) ) {
 }}}

 Why would some accents only be removed conditionally based on the current
 language?

 This makes zero sense and causes unexpected results in general, but
 especially when using one of the locales that should be there but is not,
 e.g. de_AT_formal/informal or sv_SE (only da_DK is there even though the
 characters are used in Swedish just the same)
