Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-11-18 13:17:53 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open "Layouts > Add...".
2. Search for "Brasil", which is the Brazilian pronunciation of "Brazil".

OBSERVED RESULT
You won't find the Brazilian keyboard layout.

EXPECTED RESULT
You should find all keyboard layouts by searching in the searched country's own language.

This would make the search a lot more usable for people in their native languages

Similarly
"Deutch" should always show German
"français" should always show French
etc
