Right now, the English text is, "Chunked uploads for files over 1MB in Upload Wizard". Besides the size being wrong according to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59906 , it doesn't really give the user any reason to check the box. My understanding (see e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Maximum_file_size ) is that it raises the upload size limit to 1000 MB. That's a key user-visible change, and should be mentioned (ideally using a parameter). I think it's also meant to allow more reliable uploads (may not worth mentioning at least while it's considered "experimental").
(In reply to comment #0) I think it's also meant to allow more reliable uploads (may not worth > mentioning at least while it's considered "experimental"). Its meant to. In practise it is significantly less reliable than normal uploads.
