Well, I didn't invent the uselang hack. But I was under the impression that it
also needed some server-side configuration to make it work (fallback languages
and such). I may be mistaken, though.

Check the German upload form for comparison:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=defromflickr&uploadformstyle=plain

This is served with a German sidebar and German user links at the top. It says
"beobachtungsliste" instead of "my watchlist" at the top, as it should. Yet
there is no /defromflickr subpage the [[:commons:MediaWiki:Watchlist]]
message... (though I note that there _is_ a /frfromflickr subpage).
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&from=Watchlist%2F&namespace=8

So, either I'm looking at the wrong message definition, or there is some black
magic going on server-side that the server knows that the fallback language for
"defromflickr" is "de", not the site's default language (which would be "en").
But for "fifromflickr", it somehow doesn't know that.
