Hi Sebastien,

Modifying libreoffice description can only fix the problem of searching
libreoffice, but not all the other applications. The root cause is in
how unity lens searching works. The libreoffice description in Chinese
is actually fine, so modifying it such that unity can search it is just
a hack. Asking users to search "兼容开" or "的办公" is like asking English
users to search by "suite compatible", which is not a complete phrase
and rather meaningless.

All in all, I think CJK support needs substring/tokenization, and likely
it's covered by bug 822743. Anyone knows the progress?

Bug description:
  Summary:

  If a Chinese end user wants to find the office application (i.e. Libre
  Office), it should be easy for them to type in "office" in both
  English and Chinese and see the resultant applications.   On an
  English desktop, this works.  On a Chinese-translated desktop, this
  doesn't work unless the user explicitly types "libre" or "libreoffice"
  in the search bar.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Install 11.10.
  2) Make Simplified Chinese the default language.
  3) Boot into either unity 2d or unity.
  4) Click the lens button and type "office" in either English or Chinese.

  Actual Results: Nothing is returned if "office" is typed into the search bar.
  Expected Results: Users should see a list of office applications in the search results like they would for an English desktop. 

  I will also attach screenshots of what a Chinese user sees when
  attempting to type 'office' into the search bar.

  I'm not sure if this is a Unity issue or a translation problem with
  LibreOffice (or both).  Please forward to the appropriate teams if
  this is not a Unity problem.  Thanks.
