Description:
In the Danish (da:) Wikipedia, if you use the "Download as PDF" function, images included in wiki pages is only included in the rendered PDF file if the English version of the file namespace name is used (as in [[File:some-file.jpg]]).
If images is included using a localized Danish namespace name ([[Fil:some-file.jpg]] or [[Billede:some-file.jpg]]), the image will not be in the rendered PDF file.
Version: master
Severity: major
On the German (de:) Wikipedia, images are included, even if you use localized namespaces ([[Datei:some-file.jpg]] works). But the localized variants of "thumb" are ignored. I'm adding this report here, as it seems highly related.
See https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Spielwiese&oldid=115878104 Both images look the same in the wiki page, the first uses "thumb", the second "miniatur" (which is one of the German localizations for thumb). In the PDF only the first is rendered correctly, the second is included in full size. I'm raising the severity to major, as this affects about 50% of all images in de.wikipedia.

Thanks for pointing out this issue - we have fixed the problem and updated the software on the render servers - everything should work as expected again.
