I tried Gerard's example, and indeed i couldn't get it to work. If i:
1) Go to commons.wikimedia.org in an incognito Chrome window 2) Switch to 'Dutch' using the Language select dropdown on the left 3) Search for 'olifant' (Dutch for 'elephant')
I only get results where the string 'olifant' is available somewhere in the raw wikitext, not in a translated 'depicts' statement.

Hoi, A previous iteration of Special:MediaSearch provided results in my language. The results were based on the media that had a depict statement on the subject that I was looking for.When I look for bever, I expect to find beavers. I don't.
Is it possible to have a version of Special:MediaSearch that actually works for other languages but English? The previous iteration worked for me. Thanks, GerardM
This should still be the case, it's being investigated.
