 I've translated my [https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/allow-cyrillic-
 usernames/ Allow Cyrillic Usernames] plugin's title into Russian. So far
 so good.

 However, when I
 [https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=Имена+пользователей+на+кириллице
 search by the translated plugin name in the directory], there's only one
 unrelated match (Pro Related Post Widget).

 This would be confusing and unexpected for users. It raises the question
 of whether translating or transliterating plugin names is a good idea. I
 think it might be, as long as users can find the plugin by a translated
 name.
