One of the best things with the MintMenu is/was that it both matched the English and Translated name and description of the application so that you could find applications by both. This was extremely useful when the user was receiving support via IRC/Mail or was reading an online guide.

I'd rather narrow it down to $LANG and English. It's easier to
implement (I think) and it should cover most cases. As a translator,
I've been keeping English keywords as a workaround because English
terms are quite popular here.
