From the doc string:

 This returned function will be used by `isearch-search-string' to
 search for the first occurrence of STRING or its translation.

What "translation"?  What is this about?  How are users supposed to make
sense of this, to use this variable?

I should have added that the exact same problem exists for
`isearch-search-string'.  And besides STRING, the arguments
are not described.
