i18n template tag loading error when setting show_indexes=True for views.static.serve

[MikiSoft]

This is a bug related to the django.views.static.serve and it's reproduced very easily.
First, create a new Django project and add these constants in settings.py:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')

Then, in urls.py add this code:

from django.conf import settings
from django.views.static import serve
if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += url(r'^'+settings.STATIC_URL[1:]+'(?P<path>.*)$', serve, {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT, 'show_indexes': True})]

Then create static directory in the project root and put some file(s) in it.
The last step will be to start the development server and to go to that directory (e.g. ​http://127.0.0.1/static), where response should be the directory listing, but you'll see this odd error:
'i18n' is not a registered tag library.

There was some discussion of removing the show_indexes functionality in #11495. The fact that this has been broken for 8 months since the 1.9 release without anyone reporting it might support that idea.

Meanwhile, I think removing translation on that page is the path of least resistance: ​PR.
