The acceptance made the fix of https://launchpad.net/bugs/991002 easier.
In Ubuntu we now use the common_name field when present also for
languages. We have also patched the bn_XX locales (for nl_langinfo()),
and with the change in localechooser Ubuntu 13.04 will use the name
Bangla consistently all over.
@Christian: Do we want to spread the use of our OSs to Bangla speaking
people? I guess we do. So let's not make them face an outdated name of
their language even before they have installed it. ;-)
