This requires changes to xkeyboard-config, where language names are hard coded. We believe it would be a good idea to make this change upstream as well.

However, language selector continues to refer to this language as Bengali (Bangladeh). While Bengali has been historically used as the english name for the language during colonial periods, the name 'Bangla' is more widely used nowadays. It is also the name with which native speakers identify the language. This package uses Bengali(Bangladesh) as the identifier for language code bn-BD. Please change the name to Bangla(Bangladesh).
