Is your feature request related to a problem?

I've been using chat programs since they have existed and my habits are deeply ingrained.

The behaviour of emoji autocomplete has changed with a recent update (I'm using 11.5.269855 Stable) and the colon search now uses the keyboard layout origin's language instead of the system or even app language (english).

Now when I try to type :thinking: nothing happens, because my language is detected as German, since my keyboard layout (but not system language or spelling) is set to German QWERTZ. So I'd need to type :denken: - a thing I would never write in any context.

The exact same issue replicates across all emojis. I don't know what most emojis are called in german and in most cases I don't type in German, and still, the emoji names are translated.

This issue also propagates to emoji search for custom emojis (and seemingly stickers too? but there it's more inconsistent)

Describe the solution you'd like

Give users the option to revert back to the default english emoji names instead of forcing translation based on some undocumented rules (seemingly based on keyboard layout).

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried changing system language, input language on macOS level, ap language, and more. Nothing changed this behaviour except for changing keyboard layout, which cannot be the solution here.
