Bug Description

In the gnome overview if I search a setting component (e.g. "sound") it is shown in the results but always with the English localization instead of my system language.

I'm using a fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.

Steps to reproduce:
 * Set a non-English system language. (I'm using Italian)
 * Login again and/or if necessary restart the gnome shell.
 * Search a setting category/component. (I'm trying with "audio", the Italian translation of "sound")
 * You should see the results in your system language but they are always shown in English.

Please note that the wrong localization affects only the overview. In gnome-control-center the categories are shown in the system language.

Also note that this happens only with results from settings (from inside the gnome-control-center). The other results are in the right language.
