Hi Nora,

The Commons language policy can be found at <
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Language_policy>. To put any
language in an artwork or information template, you just add a template
around the text like {{en|1=<your text>}} for english or {{zh|1=<your
text>}} for chinese. The language templates are listed with more
explanation at <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Language_templates
>

As an example, here's one in a mass upload of mine from the World Digital
Library <

> it displays in 7 languages, you should be able to toggle between them
unless your settings are to display all languages at the same time.

Cheers,
Fae
