Find apps in Spotlight even when using 'wrong' language

Sometimes I will try to find a program using Spotlight with the wrong input method selected (yes, I can't touch type). An easy way to solve this is to log in as an administrator, and put the app's name, in your often-used language, into the app's Spotlight comments box (press Command-I with the app selected to see the comments box).
