Description

For example, for the moment a French guy won't find straight the map of France. This is a serious problem IMHO.

The reason is that the map of France is not advertise to be in French (although it is to a very very large extend). Situation is the same (or maybe even clearer) for a Saudi for the map of Saudi-Arabia.

See #23 which led to the version 1.0 approach.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #23 and tracing how maps are advertised and found in the catalogue. Compare the France and Saudi-Arabia examples, then define done as local users being able to find their corresponding map without already knowing its broader language coverage.
