Yes all commons categories are in English or should be in English. I still
dream that these categories should be translated with an English base. I'm
speaking about a real translation of categories, not about redirects which are
not a solution.
Because for more efficient search on commons, we currently have to search on
wikipedias and then use the link given by the template commonscat (or
derivative) when it is there.
Direct search don't give the same ressult in every language. In one hand
commons should be a multilingual and multimedia bank online, in another hand
all is done to not use commons directly...
But it's another debate...
