Add-on store - Add-on information is in English #14973

@CyrilleB79

Description

@CyrilleB79

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open add-on store in available add-on and installed add-on tabs

Actual behavior:

The add-on name and the add-on description are in English no matter NVDA's language.

Expected behavior:

The add-on name and description should honor NVDA's language if a translation exists in the add-on.

Not tested, unrelated

Additional note

  • Regarding the installed add-on tab, it's a regression with respect to old add-on manager which displayed translated information for installed add-ons (and for incompatible add-ons).
  • Regarding the available add-on, browsing the community website where the information is translated may be preferred by non-English speaking users.
  • IMO translation should be priorized and even included in 2023.2 if we want the add-on store to be accepted and adopted by non-English speaking users (who are the majority of the users). I fear however that providing translation for the available add-ons tab may be an important piece of work requiring an evolution in the add-on store database.
