Hoi,

As long as we can not confidently search for pictures in any language I really wonder what the point is of such an exercise. In my opinion we should prioritise measurable effects for our users. Something like: "A nine year old will find pictures in his or her language on all the subjects of interest to them".

I have shown repeatedly that even a word like beaver will not get you much of the furry animal, particularly when you search in other languages.

thanks,

GerardM

Hi all,

Over the last few years, over 3.6 million Wikimedia Commons categories
have gained an infobox that displays information from Wikidata in the
reader's language. I would like to see this expanded so that all Commons
categories have a multilingual infobox.

I've started an RfC about this at:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Creating_new_Wikidata_items_for_all_Commons_categories

If you're interested in this topic, please comment there.

Thanks,
Mike
