Search translatable field in a specific language

Question

With model.search(), can I search a translatable field to find the matched values in a specific language some how?
For example, the product name got translations in French and German in addition to English.  Can I choose to search the product name in French regardless of the user language preference?

Found the answer myself by reading the ORM API document more carefully and with some googling and guessing.
It's something like:
self.env['product.product'].with_context(lang='fr_FR').search(['name', '=', '...'])

Thanks a lot for this inspiration.
I did the same on search definition (XML) :
<field name="name" string="French Name" context="{'lang': 'fr_FR'}"/> And it works :)

I try to display the product information in 2 languages, so I modified XML in *Technical* > *User Interface* >*Views* > *product.template.common.form*. I tried to add:

<field name="name" string="French Name" context="{'lang': 'fr_FR'}"/> below the default English name, but it's still display 2 English names. I'm using Odoo 12.
Can you show me how can the above code work?
