Just to expand slightly, the current state of SVG translation remains
problematic, insofar as
all users must currently receive the same language SVG (for rationale, see
changeset #95746).
Thus MediaWiki cannot show this same SVG based on content language alone.
However,
given that we now have a clear usecase this could probably be changed [1].

Regards translating this particular SVG, I could boot up
translatesvg.wmflabs.org and piggyback
on this demand to get some basic user testing (although I already know it's
a bit rubbish at the
moment!!). Since it just exports an SVG anyway, voila -- though preserving
attribution would need some
thought.

Best,
Harry

[1] Not sure on the technical specifics. Clearly the easiest would be to
have a |lang=multi flag,
but that may not be sustainable long term.
