Hoi Maria,

At the time I promised you to write something about how you can search for
images in languages like Guarani. I finally do but many things have changed
for the better making it so much easier.

What has changed is that we can now provide different functionalities as a
result of a positive search result from Wikidata.

   - images from Commons (based on categories)
   - visual display of Wikidata data using the "Reasonator"
   - link to articles in other Wikipedias
   - obviously a link to the Wikidata item

When one of the people you know is interested in writing something for
Guarani, what we still need is a place to enter a search item in Gurarni.
Actually it would be a nice to have for any language.

As you know, the policy of the language committee has changed and any and
all languages that are ISO 639-3 registered are eligible to function in
Wikidata. A place where you can enter a search for a language could help
any new languages as well.

Maria, I cc the wikidata mailing list as well because <grin> I know there
are many smart people subscribed to this list </grin> they have often
surprised me with a solution. I hope they will surprise us with good ideas
and maybe even a working proto type.
Thanks,
     Gerard
