See my commit.
seems ok, I'm happy to leave it at that. One thing I'm struggling with in my mind is the keywords/tags are in English. So if they are translated in the listing in the front page, there will be confusion when someone tries to type in the keyword in their native language to search by, it won't work.
It's the same problem for full-text search, patch descriptions, tutorials, etc.
In other words-- how does one go about translating a patch?
But for tags specifically, we just need a way to a) gather up all unique tags for the translator, b) have a place for the translator to write the translated tags, and c) replace all instances inside [pd META] of "KEYWORDS original tags;" with "KEYWORDS translated tags;". However, if we don't solve the other problems stated above then translated tags aren't very much help-- the user would just be staring at search results in the wrong language rather than keywords in the wrong language. One step closer to the goal I guess, but still quite unsatisfactory.
