instead of the English default

If you add a file in VisualEditor, then it sometimes adds the file using the
English namespace or other English terms. Examples:
https://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=14187112&oldid=14185423 – "File" is
not a Catalan word
https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=77684034&oldid=73098946 – "File" is
not a Spanish word
https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=135103424&oldid=135103377 – German
uses "mini" instead of "thumb"
https://ro.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=8882945&oldid=7944846 – "File" is not
a Romanian word
https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=66358996&oldid=55356951 – or Russian
https://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=28184524&oldid=20202611 – or Swedish
https://pl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pawe%C5%82_z_Eginy&diff=40760929&oldid=38644980
– or Polish
https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paolo_di_Egina&diff=68773170&oldid=63002904
– or Italian
In other cases, it did use the local name, including French, Hungarian, and
Estonian. I'm not sure what the common thread is. It's possible that some of
these communities deliberately choose to use the English namespace, but at
least a few change such edits. If we can use the local name more often, then
we should be able to reduce the burden on local communities.
