I would like to post a request for Chinese users, maybe even for most Asian language users, which is to allow using pinyin/brief-pinyin to search items(for me, mostly shortcuts).
Pinyin is the Mandarin pronunciation of Chinese Character, for more info: http://www.zdic.net/c/cipy/
Reason:
We have lots of apps and documents in Chinese title, which makes it inconvient to locate items using English words. e.g. an IM app called "腾讯QQ" ( Tencent QQ ) or even all Chinese "为知笔记" (Wiz Note), now we have to call out Chinese Input Method first, enter pinyin and find the right character. (one single pinyin can have one-to-many relationship with character).
My idea is to use pinyin or the brief form of pinyin (the first letter/part of each pinyin) to locate items directly.
e.g. shortcut 腾讯QQ (Pinyin form: Teng Xun QQ), can enter "tengxunqq" or brief form "txqq" to find.
To achieve this,all the items with Chinese characters to be searched need translate to pinyin form and brief-pinyin form. I think a new translation mechanisim needed.
