translate.wordpress.org search is case-sensitive for non-English keywords

[SergeyBiryukov]

• ​Searching for "Название" produces 7 results:

The term name cannot be empty.	Название элемента не может быть пустым.
Site Title & Tagline	Название и описание сайта
New Link Category Name	Название новой рубрики ссылок
New Category Name	Название новой рубрики
New Tag Name	Название новой метки
Software Name	Название платформы
Site Title	Название сайта

• ​Searching for "название" (same string in lower case) only produces one result:

A name is required for this term

Требуется название этого элемента

I could not reproduce this on a standalone GlotPress install, so it appears to be specific to translate.wordpress.org.

That's because we're using latin1.

I figured as much :) Any way to convert to UTF-8?

Having different results for the same term depending on the case is very unintuitive.

There are currently no plans for changing the charset to UTF-8, closing as maybelater,

The "Case sensitive" checkbox should at least be disabled for non-Latin locales then, because it's currently misleading: the search is always case-sensitive for them, regardless of the checkbox.

I've also noticed that search on translate.wordpress.org is case-sensitive for Cyrillic, even if the checkbox is left unchecked.
For example, "Главной" is not displayed when searching for "главной", and vice versa.

There are currently no plans for changing the charset to UTF-8, closing as maybelater,

Any chance to reconsider that?

The same issue happens in Swedish, if the search keyword contains the specific Swedish characters ( åäö vs. ÅÄÖ).
