Description

I’ve been enjoying the Simplified Chinese language in darktable however most of the tutorials are in English and modules are often referred to (and are more appropriate) in their original English names, so the search field only able to search for set ui language is inconvenient plus having to switch to Chinese input method in my case slows it down. So I would love to see this somehow implemented
