Well, if you actually visit the description page on Commons, you'll see 
the templates in your interface language -- that's kind of the _point_ 
of the autotranslated templates.

Then again, Commons is kind of a special case, since, being a 
multilingual project, it doesn't _have_ a real content language; in a 
technical sense its content language is English, but that's only because 
MediaWiki requires one language to be specified as a content language 
even if the actual content is multilingual.  So I can see arguments 
either way.

What language is the "shareduploadwiki-desc" message shown in, anyway? 
Seems to be $wgLang, which would seem to suggest that the actual 
description should be shown in the interface language too, for consistency.
