Question about iTC keywords localizations
This may be a stupid question. That's why before asking directly to Apple maybe someone here can answer.
On iTC you have the ability to add localizations for some languages, you can also localize the keywords. What I wanted to know is if the localized app can only be searched by the keywords in the language the device is set on or if it also searches the default language keywords.
For example I create a game on iTC and I set the default language as English. Since it is a space game I add "space" to the keywords. Then I add the Italian localization and as keyword I insert "spazio". Will italian users be able to only search my app with the "spazio" keyword or will they also be able to search it using "space"?

Just made a test , i entered the "italy" appstore in itunes , and searched for "the lost city" , firemaplegame's did not came up , since the name of the app is considered as keywords , i believe the answer for your question is NO .
If you localize you app , italian people will HAVE TO use italian language to make a search and find your app , english words will not work .
Cheers
