Swiss German (Schwyzerdütsch) is generally regarded as a variety (or rather, a set of varieties/dialects) of German.

Swiss German although it is spelt the the same as German German is; Swiss German is pronounced completely differently (enough to cause people fluent in German German to have trouble understanding Swiss German).

AnswerIn fact Swiss German is not written (or spelt) the same way as Germany's German (only if it's about some completely identical words). Switzerland has abolished Swiss German written language for any official issue - they all write the documents in 'real' German.

This doesn't mean people never write in Swiss German - they just restrain it to small-talk stuff or to chat. In fact - as the Swiss German is considered as some relicts of medieval German - there are even official books with standard rules... telling you how to write correctly in this or that different Swiss German dialect. It's just that these rules are old - and people are used to write Swiss German the way they think it is right...

Yes, the difference between decidable and recognizable languages in theoretical computer science is clear to me.
