After further discussion at the Ubuntu bug report, I now suggest a different approach for dealing with this bug. Instead of simply replacing Bengali with Bangla, the new patch adds Bangla as an alternative name through a new common_name field. This way users of the iso-codes package can grab the name Bangla if they wish, and Bangla will also be translated.
Thanks, Christian, for the idea. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj
