Much like bug 991002, this is a situation where Ubuntu would not enjoy getting ahead of its upstream (in this case, glibc). I've filed a bug and will file a patch (attributed to you) with them: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14925
Once they fix it upstream, Ubuntu will have to sync that localedata into langpack-locales. ** Bug watch added: Sourceware.org Bugzilla #14925 http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14925 ** Also affects: glibc via http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14925 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to langpack-locales in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070581 Title: Name of the language spoken in Bangladesh Status in The GNU C Library: Unknown Status in “langpack-locales” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: When querying nl_langinfo() for the language name of bn_BD.UTF-8, it outputs the string "BengaliBangla", which of course looks a little weird. The source file locales/bn_BD states the language "Bengali/Bangla" with a slash. A better name would be just "Bangla", since that's the official name of the language spoken in Bangladesh, and the native Bangla speakers seems to prefer it; please see bug #991002. The iso-codes package will soon provide translations of the name "Bangla", bug AFAIK noone provides translations of the string "Bengali/Bangla". But at least the bn_BD locale should be corrected so nl_langinfo() returns the string "Bengali/Bangla" including the slash. Two alternative patches have been attached to this bug report. One just escapes the slash ("Bengali//Bangla") to address the slash issue. The other patch changes the language in both bn_BD and bn_IN to Bangla. I involve bn_IN, since it's confusing in e.g. lists of locales that two locales use different English names for the same language. Please pick the patch that fits best. ;-) Let's talk about possible forwarding upstream when it has been decided which route to take.
