I'm not agree to disable article function because Commons wouldn't be a multilingual project and all it would be only in English, according to the language policy about naming categories. People from others wikiprojects in non-English language would find a lot of problems to find images for their articles.

I find it very disappointing that folks here don't find human driven presentation of content to be valuable. Will we now be deleting the commons main page and simply redirecting it to a category?
This will force projects to build their own true gallery pages rather than build them on commons. Because of the difficulty of building truly multilingual things on commons the incentive to avoid working on commons already exists... this will just increase it further. :(
I wouldn't worry too much. I expect... um... MS Windows to be released under the GPL before an implementable solution to this problem is found.
As I said on the Village pump, anyone who is seriously thinking of implementing some new solution absolutely must make the system multilingual. That challenge should be enough to keep anyone busy until the Microsoft-FSF alliance.
