Description Michael Terry 2012-12-06 22:01:54 UTC

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.
