You can compare how different language Wikipedias use images in the same article using Manypedia. All images appearing in the articles are conveniently grouped on top of it, and if you mouse over them, you can see a larger version.
For example, below you find links of comparisons of the page "Bikini" between English and Chinese, Czech, Persian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian http://manypedia.com/#|en|Bikini|zh http://manypedia.com/#|en|Bikini|cs http://manypedia.com/#|en|Bikini|fa http://manypedia.com/#|en|Bikini|ja http://manypedia.com/#|en|Bikini|ko, http://manypedia.com/#|en|Bikini|lv But you can search any page in any language and compare it with any other language just using the controls on top of the interface. We've created Manypedia with the goal of easing cross-linguistic/cultural investigations so I would love to hear your feedback about it.
