The official name of Switzerland, in the 4 official languages is:
German: Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft
French: Confédération suisse
Italian: Confederazione Svizzer
Romansh: Confederaziun svizra
All these translate as "Swiss Confederation".
If there is no room for all 4 versions, for example on coins or stamps, the Latin version is used for neutrality. This is also the origin of the official abbreviation: "CH", used on the internet and on road vehicle international registration plates.
