Hi all, In -> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation/Section_translation#Entry_points rather than redefining an ALT for the images of the gallery, I would like to retrieve the descriptions already translated on Commons. This way the translation work in centralized and done once only. For example for first image -> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Sx-language-selector-invite-th.png , I would like to get the FR text from the description/fr:

 
{{Information
|'''description'''={{en|1=Section Translation is surfaced on mobile when switching into languages where the content is not available yet so that users can translate it.}}
{{'''fr'''|1=La traduction de section est disponible sur les mobiles lorsque l'on passe à des langues pour lesquelles le contenu n'est pas encore disponible ce qui permet au utilisateurs de le traduire.}}

Is that possible ? Thanks. Christian 🇫🇷 FR (talk) 13:23, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
