The Hebrew interface of the Commons is not easy to
handle, and English
is a foreign language to most Israelis. The number of license tags is
huge, most of them are irrelevant to the Israeli user. Communication
with the Commons' administrators is often impossible due to the language
barrier, and the need to place a description template, which is actually
a code, is quite frightening to most technophobic people, and there are
plenty of them.
Yes, the interface is horrible even in English.
(And the resulting File: page. Have you ever tried to explain over the
phone to someone where the licensing information is on a web page?
Fun!)
Has anything the WMF usability initiative has done seem helpful to
you? That concentrated on English, but horrible interfaces cross
language boundaries ...
