Hi,
- there is no app for mobile phones and tablets for image upload
Well, there is one [1] (but not supported by WMF and only for iOS so far).
- newbies are lost, when they click on "Upload image" and they are
transferred from Wikipedia to Wikimedia Commons
- Wikimedia Commons is in English - foreign language for our participants
On svwiki we added ?uselang=sv on the link to Commons and made sure that the Uploadwizard is translated to Swedish. It makes for a smoother transition.
- biggest language barrier are categories, which are in English only, we
need to insert name of the category in our mother tongue
It might, just might, become easier when structured data on Commons is done.
Wikimedia Commons environment is still pretty "techy"
Insert metadata, takes a long time:
e.g.: you have an image of a cathedral in Des Moines, IW. 3 or 4 times you have to insert same information: a) to file name (*Des Moines, cathedral.jpg*), b) to file description (*en:** Cathedral in Des Moines, Iowa, USA*/*es:* *La catedral de XY en Des Moines, Iowa, EEUU*) and c) to the category (*category:Des Moines* or *Churches in Des Moines*, *category:Cathedrals in Iowa*).
There is an option in the Uploadwizard to copy exactly those things from the first image to all the others, it is super handy.
