I'd be interested in hearing the rationale.

The consequence I observe is that globbing operations currently produce 
results a lot of which look plain bogus because only the localized name is 
printed.  Your globs hit things that you didn't know even existed, and the 
reason is in no way decipherable from the results displayed to you.  Matching 
only the current language would not eliminate the problem as long as things 
are matched against the untranslated name and id of the group/category (which 
is understandable), but IMO it would significantly improve it.

Just try something, for example 'yum grouplist "h*"' gets me a list of 59 
groups, of which 6 start with a 'h' which is what I asked.  After applying 
this patch, I get only those 6 (incidentally - for other queries it'll still 
produce some "odd" matches but less than before).
