True, but the search box is very much part of the end-user UI, rather 
than one of those more technical aspects. I feel that it would be 
similar to not having menu items translated, so seems worthwhile still.

That is the approach I've taken - both the localised and English 
versions will now work. It's also useful since the User Guide isn't as 
widely translated as the UI. So in cases where it hasn't been, at least 
what  the English manual says will still work, and users may discover 
the localised versions through change or word of mouth.
