Don't most Internet users know enough English to be able to search for
"pictures of a horse" in English?
(According to Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Internet_usage),
yes... "Most Internet users speak the English language as a native or
secondary language.")
In practice pulling up the wikipedia article on "horse" in your
language will cover most cases. There is a fairly good argument to be
made that wikipedia is common's best search engine.
