Summary: AddCategory bot uses default language instead of site lang
Initial Comment: This might be a more general problem, I did not check. I created a custom generator and used it to construct the AddCategory bot from category.py. Apparently the bot uses the default settings for language purposes instead of either accepting such options in the constructor or (more conveniently) checking the site of the first page returned by the generator and using the language of that. For example, running the bot on Commons resulted in edits like this: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Ungar-Mayer-palace_Szege... - both the summary and the category namespace name are in Hungarian.

Message: This message is from "category-adding" and the code for i18n.twtranslate() comes from self.site attribute which is assigned with pywikibot.getSite() by constructor. getSite() gives the site your start the bot. For commons you must run the -lang:commons -family:commons options which gives an english text by default. Since this is your own script, could you check whether your lang code isn't commons on commons site?
