Bug #: 14925
Summary: bn_* 'language' key should be "Bangla"
Product: glibc
Version: 2.18
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: localedata
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: mike@mterry.name
CC: libc-locales@sourceware.org
Classification: Unclassified
The current language key for bn_BD is "Bengali/Bangla" and for bn_ID it's
"Bengali". Apparently, Bengali is an older colonial word. Whereas Bangla is
the more modern and official version. It's widely used in the English-speaking
world too (UN, BBC, Windows 8).
I'm passing this along from an Ubuntu report. I myself am not well versed in
the naming issue. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/991002 and
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1070581
(At the least, the slash in "Bengali/Bangla" needs to be escaped, but changing
the name to not need a slash is preferrable.)
Patch coming.
