Oh I wasn't saying the issue doesn't have to be fixed. I just meant that
other means may be more likely to get the translations we are looking for,
since adding them all to categories would lead to very overpopulated
categories that people are scared to look at (trust me, same thing happens
with CAT:IFC ... gives me nightmares now that I'm back from vacation and get
to haul through all the new stuff). Working at things a bit at a time and
getting outside help or bringing the situation to the attention of the
community at large and requesting people help out may be a more reasonable
way than just adding every image to "translate to x language" categories.
I certainly agree with your opinion on the state of translations, we do need
to deal with it. There is also the issue of untranslated categories and
articles, which tend to get slightly more translations but are still
lacking.
