There's something that's been bothering me about the daily photo.  It has a descriptive caption in English.  That means we need to make a different auto-generating template for every language.  This seems a bit inefficient.  Is there any way we could have a text-less auto-generating photo which every different linguistic version of the main page could share, and either do without captions or have the captions generated separately?

There's something that's been bothering me about the daily photo. It has a descriptive caption in English. That means we need to make a different auto-generating template for every language. This seems a bit inefficient. Is there any way we could have a text-less auto-generating photo which every different linguistic version of the main page could share, and either do without captions or have the captions generated separately?

M. Octavius Gracchus has taken care of this. Go to DailyPhotoData and enter national language captions there, following this pattern:
* caption.EN=English caption  
* caption.ES=Spanish caption  

Use the same two-letter code as the namespace that corresponds to the caption language. The correct caption is chosen. If a caption is missing in a particular language, the English one is used by default. Agricola 06:23, 26 January 2008 (CET)
