Steps to reproduce:

I visited Marketplace and I wanted to get all Italian apps.


Actual results:

I had to search them by name and I wasn't able to get all of them


Expected results:

I expected I could have found all Italian app. That's is important especially for people that don't understand English.

The API supports it, but not sure how this would look on the front end.

If a user wants a specific app he can type the name and will find it, but if he needs an app that lets he edit files he will look in category search I suppose. So each Category should have three tabs, popolarity, new and "in myLanguage". Apps in myLanguage could be ordered by popularity, and this tab could be set as default in Category search.

As IT searching with a query isn't difficult, but we have to give this possibility to all users to get them easily

There's a strong possibility of "0 results" given how Marketplace currently works. E.g., if you search for apps in Italian from France, there may be no apps for that region that are in Italian.

We need to do more thinking on this problem to come up with the right solution, so we'll add it to our backlog.
