 Hi guys!

 We also have the same issue with our plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins
 /backup-backup and noticed that for some languages e.g. Vietnamese and
 Greek, the translations are indexed (those keywords are in the plugin’s
 readme file) please see:

 https://vi.wordpress.org/plugins/search/T%E1%BA%A1o+b%E1%BA%A3n+sao/
 https://el.wordpress.org/plugins/search/%CE%B4%CE%B7%CE%BC%CE%B9%CE%BF%CF%85%CF%81%CE%B3%CE%AF%CE%B1+%CE%B1%CE%BD%CF%84%CE%B9%CE%B3%CF%81%CE%AC%CF%86%CF%89%CE%BD/

 However it is still an issue for the majority of the other languages for
 example Brazilian Portuguese
 https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/search/Criar+backup/. The keywords
 “Criar” and “Backup” are present in the translated readme at
 https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/backup-backup/ and the search in the
 Brazilian Portuguese directory isn’t returning any results.

 We thought it’s a good idea to contribute with the finding that it works
 correctly for Vietnamese and Greek (not only for our plugin but works fine
 for others too) and doesn’t work still for other languages. Maybe it helps
 with debugging.

 If anyone found a solution for this, your input would be greatly
 appreciated.
