1) Go to
commons.wikimedia.org in an incognito Chrome window
2) Switch to 'Dutch' using the Language select dropdown on the left
3) Search for 'olifant' (Dutch for 'elephant')
I only get results where the string 'olifant' is available somewhere
in the raw wikitext, not in a translated 'depicts' statement.

This should still be the case, it's being investigated.
