Open, Stalled, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
In Ukrainian Wikipedia, the namespace has the name "Субтитри" (https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/TimedText:%D0%95%D0%BF%D1%96%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B4_%D0%BC%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%B2%D1%96%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE_%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BF%D1%96%D1%81%D0%BD%D1%8E_%C2%ABFortnight%C2%BB_%D1%81%D0%BF%D1%96%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%A2%D0%B5%D0%B9%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%80_%D0%A1%D0%B2%D1%96%D1%84%D1%82_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B8_%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%96_Post_Malone.ogv.uk.srt), but in the search field it only recognizes "TimedText".

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
In the search field, the namespace TimedText only appears if the user uses an English name for it.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
In the search field, it would be easy to search pages in that namespace if it have a Ukrainian alias.
