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 localedata/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.
But at least the code should be corrected so nl_langinfo() returns the string "Bengali/Bangla" including the slash. |

The iso-codes package will hopefully provide translations of the name "Bangla" soon. 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. |
