At the moment image description pages on our projects that are
transcluded from Commons will be shown in English. That was no problem
for the last four years cause the pages basically all were in English.
But with the autotranslate template on Commons now many templates can be
shown in any language. It would be very useful, if the transcluded pages
on the local projects would be shown in the content language or user
language too.
If I am not mistaken, its the function "getDescriptionRenderUrl" in
"FileRepo.php" that gets the image description page from Commons. We
should add "'uselang='. $wgLang->getCode()" as an additional
parameter,
so the page is rendered in the right language. (I don't know the code
well and had only a brief look into the file, perhaps some additional
changes are needed. The developers will know best.)
Can this be done?
