Does the Image: namespace still contain ALL the images used in ALL the differerent language versions of the wikipedia? I'm looking at orphaned images and wondering what to do about the large number of orphans with labels/captions/titles in languages other than English. Do I just pretend they're not there?
eg. 'auge.gif' - a German diagram of the human eye, with labels. Looks like it comes from a textbook. 'angulorecto.png' - a Right Angle, labelled in a language I can't identify.

Brion Vibber left this link on my talk page: http://leuksman.com/misc/wikisearch.php angulorecto.png does not appear to be used anywhere, though the word occurs on the Esperanto Wiki.

Not by a long shot. A lot of stuff used on the other wikis (and some used on the English) is on http://meta.wikipedia.com/.
Incidentally; _should_ we have a convenient procedure for sharing images between language wikis using a variation of the [[image:foo]] syntax? Most images are photographs or don't contain (or don't need) any language-specific text, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to have 25-odd copies of every one.

As noted in the image page, that's used in [[de:Auge]]. It's exactly the same as the image in the English article [[Eye]], with the text rewritten in German.

Spanish. A local copy of the same image is used on enciclopedia.us.es. (I note that there's no text *in* the image; feel free to use it to illustrate a new English article [[Right angle]].)

Yes; note that a bunch of images are indirectly linked to from [[eo:Brion VIBBER/Dezirataj]], where I have a list of images on www. and meta.wikipedia.com that could be used in articles on that wiki, but mostly aren't yet.

I think pretending they're not there is exactly what we should do. Until the other language encyclopedias get software upgrades, they have to use the English Wikipedia's file uploader.
