Bug description:
  The official name for the state language for Bangladesh is Bangla, as
  detailed on section 3, part 1 of the Bangladesh constitution
  (http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/research/bangladesh-constitution.pdf).
  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).
