Public bug reported:
There is a whole bunch of new strings that look like this:
TRANSLATORS: This is a keyword or name for the language plugin which is
used while searching
Now, we have "words", for example. In English, this will match both
"word" and "words" nicely. In my language, I will have to decide if
users can search for "facal", "facail" or "faclan".
This is also obvious if you look at english "photo", "picture", "image"
- we have 3 synonyms here. What if it's the other way around and my
language has multiple synonyms for a search keyword, but English doesn't?
The easiest solution for translators IMO would be to have ; separated
lists just like everywhere else in Ubuntu and Gnome.
