Because of all the com prefixes and company names, e.g. thus any com search queries will break.
I'm thinking about using English (or default) label instead by loading context, what do you think? Although non-English apps may not be indexed, however in that situation it may not be a problem

Package names in general are pretty inconsistent (this is the reason I don't use them already). Loading the English label is certainly the better approach, as long as you cache the English label (just add an internal field to LauncherApp and store it alongside the app)

Sorry for late response, but tinkering around with it it looks like loading Context with different locale config doesn't actually load different labels for apps, since it's being handled by PackageManager.getText which, as I understand, is manufacturer dependent. I'll see if I can retrieve it from adb/manifest somehow, but it looks like package name is the way to go

When searching apps, compare query against the original app name as well as label to help with i18n. For example, Google suite apps, such as Google Maps, have localised labels in different languages. Google Maps name in Russian is
