Did you change to "India" too?

That's probably the best option. Or using Pablo's suggestion of ia_XX.
Don't know which ones of them are most valid.

As Pablo pointed out, it should be "kn_IN", and not "ka_IN" or anything
else, here. Sory for my goofup.

"Cymraeg" was the correct spelling, no?

It's not tied very much to a particular locale, should probably use the
same solution as for Interlingua.
As for the native name, you can probably copy-paste it directly from
http://www.gnome.org/i18n/.

Language code isn't "gj", it's "gu". Check with

You have Bengali spelled in UTF-8 in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105825. Could probably use
that.

Should be "gu_IN", but we don't have any gu translations, so shouldn't
be listed.

We don't have any ml translations yet, should probably not be listed.

You can probably fetch the native spelling from

cyrillic one.
