Bug Description
Currently apps inside the store have not their name translated in different languages. If someone submits a "Google Docs" app, it will be its name, while it could be translated (in Italian "Google Documenti" for example) and be easier to identify for non-English people. As far as I know, the desktop file can have translated entries, so the app will have its name translated once installed. For this reason I think that probably the easiest way (to not duplicate efforts to the developer) would be to use these entries to show the app name translated in the different languages.

Hi Fabio, thanks for your report.
I'm going to mark it as "Invalid" for unity-scope-click, because the "Apps" scope already shows translated names for apps that provide it in the .desktop file, and the "Ubuntu Store" scope already shows translated titles for click packages that are added to https:/
If any apps (or many!) don't have a translated title in a given language, it should be reported for each individual app so the app developer can fix the .desktop file, or add the corresponding text under the "Translation" header in https:/
