Search with Google in user's language
The Google plug-in always uses Google English. It may be a good idea to adapt it to user's native language.
I think it's easy to fix. In the python file of the plug-in, just add "&hl=LN" in Google api url (3 variables are to be changed).
You may get the LN (language) easily. It's (often??) 2 letters long (en, fr, it, ...).

Ok, this is now fixed in the bzr trunk. Now there are two Google plugins:
* the first searches in *all* languages, but goes to Google's localized page when clicked
* the second searches only in the system's language (and, of course, also goes to Google's localized page when clicked)
This way, people can just pick whichever they want -- or both, even :)
