Since this is just a panel that's available on-demand anyway, perhaps having an additional dropdown switch to select English/canonical vs. project-local namespaces/keywords would be handy if it can be made not too clutter-y.
These kind of choices seem more natural for me to be made when using the data rather than when it is collected. That is: I copy a code that can be used anywhere ("File"), when I paste it into a German wikipedia it either: (a) gets adapted automatically, (b) gets adapted and provides a choice to undo the automatic adaptation or (c) is not modified but an option is provided to do so.
This is how copy&paste works in many places with respect to paste with format, or in plain text. Putting those decisions upfront seems like unnecessary cognitive load.

there, people will be annoyed if I embed it as [[File:]] rather than [[Datei:]].
You could use Unicode letter U+1F4F7 ('camera') as a synonym for that namespace on all languages:
[[📷:myfilename.jpg|...]]
If you insist on "file" (rather than picture/image), there is also a 'floppy disk' character (U+1F4BE, 💾). But who remembers floppy disks in this century...
But then, are there also Unicode symbols for "thumbnail", "upright", and the other wanted keywords?
