Huh. Good catch. I wonder if there's a way to have other search terms in our manifest that aren't translated. @DHowett You usually know these sorts of things

Yeah, this is actually also bothering me. It's much easier to search with "terminal" instead of "终端"

We're working with the Start Menu search team to make sure that we're set up properly here. Thanks so much for the feedback!

Unfortunately, we can't add aliases to the app manifest. It's gotta be pushed out by the search service. Yup.

@heruji commented on GitHub (Apr 13, 2022):

Since 1.12, I always search "wt" to launch Terminal. But "wt" does not have "Run as admin" option in the search result.

(Another workaround is PowerToys Run, which has a Window Terminal plugin.)

Also, If both stable version and preview version installed, "wt" launches the stable version.
It seems the preview version does not have its own "wt" in the search result ?

And it would be nice if the search result has profiles listed as options.

You change that under "app execution aliases" in the settings app:

It will for "Terminal", but not for wt.exe. See https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/2339#issuecomment-776047929

In Powertoys Run, I also can't launch Terminal by the name "terminal" on a Win10 PC with Chinese language pack.

As a work around, you may search "teminal" instead, which is a little bit rediculous.

@yhmtsai commented on GitHub (Jan 8, 2024):

I also face the same issue. My workaround is to add a shortcut into somewhere such as desktop and then pin it to startmenu if necessary.
The shortcut can be search by windows search or powertoy run.

  1. right click on desktop -> add -> shortcut
    target: wt
  2. just rename the shortcut to Terminal
  3. change the icon by terminal.ico from https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/tree/main/res
  4. (If necessary), right click on shortcut to pin it in menu
    search
    powertoy

However, it does not list the available profiles (like powershell, cmd, ...) from terminal
