Description
What is multi-lingual search
In macOS/iOS, what ever you have set the system language, the spotlight search can return the right app icons even if you are type the keywords in another language. (Although in some cases it may not work.) In brief, it allows you to search an object in two or more languages.
Why MuseScore need a multi-lingual search
MuseScore have a variety of instruments and music notations of hundreds of nations. It is good to have a translation in another language. While sometimes, certain groups of users (see scenario below) demand to enable searching in English or the original language. If MuseScore have multi-lingual search, they will save time on switching between languages.
The scenario
- Some international students/artists who are using local input methods on the computers. They want to search some symbols or instrument.But they only know the name in their own languages.
