 Hi folks. Just passing here to contribute with two examples of plugins
 with translated names in pt_BR. These can help because we also use the
 Latin Alphabet and maybe it makes the tests easier.

 1. We've translated the "Classic Editor" plugin as "Editor clássico". When
 we search for "Editor clássico" in the pt_BR directory, the plugin isn't
 found:
 https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/search/Editor+cl%C3%A1ssico/
 but it's the first result when we search for "Classic Editor":
 https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/search/Classic+Editor/

 2. As "Editor Clássico" contains that "a-acute" (á), we could imagine that
 is the problem. But there is a plugin called "Related" that is translated
 as "Relacionado". Searching for "Related" it's the 11th result:
 https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/search/related/
 Searching for "Relacionado" it doesn't even appear in the results:
 https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/search/relacionado/

 I hope it helps you, folks, to get this figured out. It's very problematic
 especially for cases like the Classic Editor, where the user reads the
 plugin name on a Panel notice, for example, but can't find it while
 searching for it in the Dashboard.
