In most English-speaking countries, “Swiss” cheese means cheese like Emmenthal - yellow, medium hard, with holes in it.

I imagine this is what the calculator means too.

Speaking of holes, I will leave you with this classic: https://youtu.be/-_KLD9opGFg
So, the worst Swiss cheese.
I can find lots of cheeses that are like American "Swiss" cheese here in Germany. I think that what happened was when Swiss immigrants moved to e.g. New Glarus, WI, and started making the cheeses their parents made, and then when people said hey this is good what is it, the Swiss-Americans said it was cheese like they made back in Switzerland, so Swiss cheese. :)
