Using French search terms doesn't work on our English website

... obviously "Housse Planche" (board bag in French) doesn't produce any results, but we do sell Board Bags. So how can I manually add keywords from other languages to the product page?

Other solutions are very welcome.

Just clarifying. Do you already have "Housse Planche" translation in your store or in your translations?

I didn't @shopifyavi . I have now added the "Housse Planche" keyword to all relevant product descriptions and hid it in the background. Juvenile and very nineties, but it seems to work.

Now I am wondering if that type of SEO is penalized still...
Ideas?
