Hi Romaine, I feel somewhat guilty because I stopped creating the lists on the English Wikipedia. I just sort of forgot about them. As I recall, there was a problem with naming the actual monuments. I guess it's all "Belgium National Heritage Site" or something like that.
What I really would like to know however, is whether the pictures that someone adds to an English list (so not Dutch, French or German) will make it into the monuments database on Commons? I assume there is some checks done on the leading language lists in order to update the database. My question is, can there be more than one list? And what if a user adds a photo to Wikipedia, rather than Wikimedia Commons? I think these need to be caught and transferred by hand, but is that right?

Yes you can! In Belgium three languages are spoken depending on the region, and so we try to get all the lists translated in all the languages. On the Dutch, French and German Wikipedia. Also we try to get more lists on the English Wikipedia for more availability in more languages.
I think that in future all the lists of all countries will be translated in many languages, it only needs time.
Greetings - Romaine

Can there be two monuments lists with an identical set of monuments but in different languages? For instance, a list in Belarusian and Russian (hypothetically) for Belarus?
