Comment (by malimart):

 I think plugin names should not be translated, but if they are, plugins
 should be searchable by the translated name that is displayed on the
 plugin list.

 Steps to reproduce the issue:
 1. Install Event Organiser(https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-organiser/)
 2. Go to `wp-admin/options-general.php` and change `Site Language` to
 Polish (`Polski`)
 3. Go to `wp-admin/plugins.php`. The Event Organizer plugin is now
 displayed with its Polish name (`Organizator wydarzeń`)
 4. Copy and paste that name in the plugin search bar. You will get 0
 results.
 5. You can find the plugin by using its original name `Event Organiser`.
