[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Search and description meta tags are unlocalizable (Issue #6527)

[Minh Nguyễn]

1ec5 created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6527)

The `search` and `description` meta tags on the homepage are hard-coded in English:

https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/052f0bc356806c56d3b5779c97ede17c40909a5b/app/views/layouts/_meta.html.erb#L23-L24

This results in browsers like Firefox associating the OpenSearch description file with an English title:

<img width="391" height="208" alt="Thêm công cụ tìm kiếm “OpenStreetMap Search”" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0e20fb7d-0cf7-44d7-b0c0-bfd7c1f1f9b5" />

Sometimes search engines like Google turn up URLs that are explicitly non-English, such as with the `?locale=` parameter set, but still have the description in English:

[<img width="652" height="108" alt="Trazas GPS públicas: OpenStreetMap is the free wiki world map." src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/90ad37ed-b87f-4d63-aac3-3c485ffde941" />](https://www.google.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.openstreetmap.org%2F%3Flocale%3Des&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&hl=es)
