Description
Description:
As we know Rocket.chat offers us with several language features where we can select language on which we are comfortable with,
but there are few languages which are causing app to crash such as -> bn-Bd, bn-In, hi-IN, ka-GE and others too.
Steps to reproduce:
- ...../admin/settings/General
- change language to any of bn-Bd, bn-In, hi-IN, ka-GE
- save changes
Expected behavior:
The app should change its language
Actual behavior:
app crashes

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash from /admin/settings/General with bn-Bd, bn-In, hi-IN, and ka-GE selected, then inspect the language-setting flow and the browser or server logs. Done means each reported locale can be selected and saved without crashing and the app changes language as expected.
