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.
