Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2014-01-09 20:21:11 UTC
This is a locale-related issue. When running in a particular language, you apparently need to search in that language.

For example, if you want to search for a particular city in northern Italy, you must search for 'Turin' when running in en_US, and 'Torino' when running in it_IT. (Searching for the other counterpart fails.)

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2014-01-09 20:24:03 UTC
Confirmed, vis-a-vis comment #1 - when running in Japanese, searching for '東京' brings up Tokyo.

So is this really a bug then?

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2014-01-10 14:37:22 UTC
If you were to ask me, yes - it shouldn't search *all* translations for the entered search string, but it should probably search the current configured language + English.

Sure but I'd call '+ English' part an enhancement though.

Works well in 3.14. I can search for Beijing (or Tokyo) while in ja_JP locale via latin characters.

Hi Zeeshan

May you please update the "Fixed in Version" with the version of the component on which the bug has been fixed.

i18n QEs will cover this bug during RHEL7.2 i18n-l10n text execution phase. So, changed the qe_test_coverage to +.

Does not seem to be a translation bug,rather i18n and desktop issue. So, removed l10n related lists.

Whichever version you see in 7.2 as pointed out in comment#10. :)
