Currently, the wikitext embed URL is non-localized; e.g. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoofdpagina#mediaviewer/Bestand:Chicago_Board_Of_Trade_Building.jpg shows the following embed code: [[File:Chicago_Board_Of_Trade_Building.jpg|thumb|Chicago Board Of Trade Building]] while the localized version [[Bestand:Chicago_Board_Of_Trade_Building.jpg|thumb|Chicago Board Of Trade Building]] would make much more sense.
The thumb keyword can also be localized, although I'm not sure how to access it in JS (the namespaces are stored in a config variable so that should be easy - this should probably be added to mw.Title).
Turns out mw.Title does that already, we just don't use it. Doh.

Per Erik on multimedia list, it's enough to follow content language, as we do for UploadWizard ("File") and the editing toolbar.

Those are not relevant examples: the editing toolbar is not used cross-wiki, and UploadWizard is (almost) only used on Commons, where the canonical and the contentlang namespace name is the same.

(In reply to Gerrit Notification Bot from comment #8) > Change 131509 merged by jenkins-bot: > Revert "Use localized namespace name in embed wikitext" I'm confused. What changed since the multimedia list discussion?
Nothing. I had doubts after submitting this patch so I started a mailing list thread about it; there was no consensus (nor much interest, really) so no reason not to merge (except it got forgotten for a while). I'll leave the bug open for a while longer; if there are many complaints, I'll try the {{ns}} hack.
When there is no consensus, you should follow standards. That is, wiki content language. Whatever. Here's the link I mentioned above. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/multimedia/2014-May/000403.html
