Just made the search-plugin keywords translatable. There's  a [_ "name"] for
the keyword, then a "keyword" which is not translated. Seems to work fine.

But again, notice that this just kicks the ball down the field for the
non-English-speaking user.  Sure, they can get a list of included "bandlimited"
objects, but they all have english descriptions, patches, and readmes (if they
have them at all).
