[Bug localedata/14925] New: bn_* 'language' key should be "Bangla"

             Bug #: 14925
           Summary: bn_* 'language' key should be "Bangla"
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.18
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: mike@mterry.name
                CC: libc-locales@sourceware.org
    Classification: Unclassified


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.

--- Comment #2 from Mike Frysinger <vapier at gentoo dot org> ---
this has semi-changed with:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=ff01283962335e937f91c675c37063419235d5b4

keep in mind that LC_IDENTIFICATION.language uses the "commonly accepted"
English name for the language, not the localized name for the language. 
instead, LC_ADDRESS.lang_name is used to hold the localized name.

we are sourcing LC_IDENTIFICATION.language from Unicode's CLDR project now
though, so if you want to get the English translation changed, i'd recommend
you look into getting it changed there:
  http://cldr.unicode.org/

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.)

I'm not convinced that CLDR is on the right side of this one.  I'd like to see
getting it changed there explored before closing it here.

(In reply to Gunnar Hjalmarsson from comment #3)

the answer is still the same -- CLDR is the upstream of these data values, not
glibc.  you should get the fixes made there.  once you do, your impact is wider
too as CLDR is used by many companies & services way beyond glibc.

we don't want to carry custom/hand-maintained values anymore.

with these changes reflected on the upstream ticket

Status changed from new to accepted
Milestone changed from UNSCH to 30 

I think we should proceed on the assumption that this change will be made in
the upstream and there is no need to wait on this anymore.

Seeing at other bug reports that some updates have been made recently to comply
with CLDR, and it would be great if someone could revisit this one and change
the language name to "Bangla" as originally requested. As already stated, the
change has been made in CLDR.

to “Bangla”

            [BZ #14925]
            * locales/bn_BD (LC_IDENTIFICATION): Change language name in
            “title” and “language” from Bengali to Bangla.
            * locales/bn_IN (LC_IDENTIFICATION): Likewise.


But when checking again now, I found that “Bengali” was still there
in a few comments in bn_BD, in iso-639.def and in a test input file.
I am changing it there as well.

    Finish change from “Bengali” to “Bangla”

    “Bengali” still remained in some comments in the bn_BD locale file,
    in iso-639.def and in a test input file. Change it there as well.
    “Bangla” is now used as the English name for this language in CLDR.
