How to add new inspirations for more languages?

edit

The tool needed is the GLAMify tool.

How it works: for a given category on Wikimedia Commons, and based on images for articles based in a source language Wikipedia, suggests images for articles based on another language Wikipedia

Option 1: Go to m:User:Ijon/GLAMify and follow the steps.

Option 2: Make a request just here

The process described above could be technically improved. A Phabricator task describes the needs: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211441
