Steps to reproduce: *Go to https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SystemLanguage_test.svg *Click on one of the images in the "Other version" section of the description (not the english one) *Expected behaviour: MediaViewer shows the image in the correct language *Actual behaviour: MediaViewer shows image in english At the moment there's only a very small number of such images ([[commons:Category:Translation_possible_-_SVG_(switch)]]), so probably not a big deal initially, but its possible such images will take off in the future. Other formats might have other parameters that are important (PDF/DjVu page comes to mind), it would be nice if we could somehow support extra parameters just in general.
Blocker: There is no API module for this. See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/25838 - either Harry forgot to add it or it was deemed not useful. There is no way to get a language-specific thumb URL as far as I can see.
PDF pages are supported via iiurlparam, as a hint - image language could be supported the same way.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:Gerrit%20patchset%2025838%20test.svg&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url&iiurlwidth=300&iiurlparam=langde-300px That's super annoying to discover. i.e. impossible to discover. Documentation fail. Bug 1 etc. etc. It should be possible to look for extra params and just pass them to the iiurlparam parameter. I think. Probably. I'm not totally convinced that the thumb URL will always be exactly the same, but in most cases it will, so let's go with it!

See also bug 58920, which quibbles with the desired semantics of 'systemLanguage'.
*** Bug 68154 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I think this actually works now (with thumbnail guessing, although not with thumbnails requested via the API), and the mixing of the languages is due to bug 62039.
