Description of problem:
In Norwegian, we have two written languages called 'nynorsk' and 'bokmål'. They
are both official and equal. The naming scheme shown in Fedora is inconsistent
and a bit confusing.

When I boot up my live CD, I can choose keyboard layout and system language to
use before I log in. Here you have one called 'Bokmal, Norwegian (Norge)', one
called 'Norsk (nynorsk) (Noreg)' and one just called 'Norwegian (Norway)'.

I think that showing one called just 'Norwegian (Norway)' must be wrong, as we
have two different written languages ones which both are Norwegian.

That nynorsk ('Norsk (nynorsk) (Noreg)') and bokmål ('Bokmål, Norwegian
(Norge)') has so different naming schemes is also a potentional problem.

On the English translation, I believe 'Norwegian Nynorsk (Norway)' and
'Norwegian Bokmål (Norway)' would be the best naming scheme, to keep it in line
with what the other languages are called.
