Well, Mike, I'm pretty sure that the change won't make the reporters of
<https://launchpad.net/bugs/991002> happy. ;)
In response to that bug report, I made considerable efforts to have Ubuntu use
"Bangla" instead of "Bengali". In addition to Ubuntu specific changes, I can
mention that Debian's iso-codes package now includes the "common_name" Bangla:
$ cat /usr/share/xml/iso-codes/iso_639.xml | grep -C 3 '"bn"'
<iso_639_entry
iso_639_2B_code="ben"
iso_639_2T_code="ben"
iso_639_1_code="bn"
name="Bengali"
common_name="Bangla" />
<iso_639_entry
xkeyboard-config has also been changed:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=a224a636139d22e1dc7ca7d23782cd656e87bcf5
So keeping "Bengali" in glibc would be an undesirable inconsistency at this
time. Please note that "Bangla" is not the localized name of the language; it's
the new English name.
Changing the name of a language has hit several stumbling blocks; still hoping
that glibc won't be one of those. Please note that this is considered important
to those who have most involvement.
I reopened this bug report, and kindly ask you to consider an exception in this
case.
(I may try to file a ticket at Unicode CLDR, if I can figure out how.)
