Title:
Name of the language spoken in Bangladesh
Status in The GNU C Library:
Confirmed
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.
