So it's a bit of a conflicting usage of that specific field right now (descriptions on Commons, captions in the Wikipedia app), but neither of them are for the purpose of alt text. Which means it would be a huge work cleaning up before it would be useable even if we started to designate that field for it. Better start fresh in my opinion (and if the label/description/caption field is redundant in your opinion, then suggest remove it in a separate ticket). You don't understand. The description array is empty for *every* file on Commons. It's not used at all. So if we technically need a place to store this in a multilingual way, it's still available (fresh in your words). In the user interface you can call it whatever you like.
