doesn't have a method to translate them (E:TranslateSvg hasn't been
deployed yet).
Just to expand slightly, the current state of SVG translation remains
problematic, insofar as
all users must currently receive the same language SVG (for rationale, see
changeset #95746).
Thus MediaWiki cannot show this same SVG based on content language alone.
However,
given that we now have a clear usecase this could probably be changed [1].
Regards translating this particular SVG, I could boot up
translatesvg.wmflabs.org and piggyback
on this demand to get some basic user testing (although I already know
it's a bit rubbish at the
moment!!). Since it just exports an SVG anyway, voila -- though preserving
attribution would need some
thought.
Best,

[1] Not sure on the technical specifics. Clearly the easiest would be to
have a |lang=multi flag,
but that may not be sustainable long term.
As a quick note, if someone (you, Harry?) is interested in getting the
TranslateSvg extension on the Wikimedia cluster (at least for Commons),
I'd be happy to help.
is the main tracking bug.
