David - 
Can you give some product eyes to this user story, brought to our attention by Peiying via Product marketing feedback?


There are several pieces to this:
- business development to ensure we get all localized copies of bigger (short tail) apps (ie: twitter) (Bertrand)
- do we need to adjust search results?
- do we need to adjust apps displayed by default?
- is there opportunity for L10N team to translate apps on behalf of devs (long tail)?

You got the bug numbers for the first 2 items. 

As far as translation, I think that this may work best through MDN apps area as the app should already be translated by the time it is submitted to Marketplace.   We should talk to Ali about this as I am not sure how any of this is being restructured.  It could be a good value-add and perhaps the community could get enthusiastic about helping to localize certain apps.
