Template:Translation possible

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository

This SVG file uses embedded text that can be easily translated into your language. Learn more.

For SVG images, you can use this page to translate it into your language.

You may add this template to SVG images which contain embedded text or attached captions. Since SVG usually stores such information as plain text, these captions can easily be translated and a new SVG image uploaded, translated into a new language. Images that use this template are automatically added to Category:Translation possible.

Numeric labels

For images with few labels, consider providing a version with numeric labels, as these can be used in any language (by having a reference table) without needing to create a new version of the file.

Translation eased

Done - That work, you can more easily translate each SVG of this page now, the http://toolserver.org/~nikola/svgtranslate.php is now partially integrated to commons, by the means of this man-handly-pasted template « {{translatable}} ».

Good point : ease translations. You are bilingual ? You can start now ;
Bad point : since we made a STUPID USE of SVG, these translations will also duplicate graphic data (an SVG image is composed by graphic datas + text). Graphic data with mistakes will spread, and be un-correctable (too much to do). Gaphic data mistake will be unpossible to prevent. Each wikipedia may change the graphic data style of his version, which will provock dispersion and waste of graphist time and energy.

As you can see, I eventually find a NOW-solution by using the template {Translatable}. This is for me really naive way to do :

the system is not systematique, but need us to past the template.
worse : The multiplication of SVG Images about a same thing, spending at least 5 min on an human's owned PC also provide new troubles on reliability : a/ who can state that vandalisms, or wrong modifications will not be done in these 5 mins ; b/ which version will be the trusted one and the one to update first ? c/ when the mother one is update/corrected, how to update the X others versions ? etc.

All this troubles may find solutions with :

the improvement of Nikola script (archivage of the pairs of words, of the user's pseudo) allowing to make automatic Image update every X months,
and with the creations of about 2 bots with special rights (allow to upload on commons, making update, puting a template "this version is the trusted one" and "This is a derivated version", etc.), integrated to commons.

This request programmers understanding of this issue and involvement, and support from the community.
