Consider English strings in search

It sounds like it would be useful for bilingual speakers to consider English strings when searching. For example, searching for "Calculator" or "Screenshot" should return results even while in another locale.

I would suggest this be extended to search other untranslated English text in the .desktop file such as Categories.

We've implemented this for system management actions (keyword) searching: https://github.com/elementary/applications-menu/pull/144#issuecomment-429360447
