Steps to reproduce

Open this image on the English Wikipedia .
Open its metadata panel
The 'English' label appears before the description, even though my language is English.
Here is this file's wikitext template , which may be causing this issue.

Expected behavior

Do not show 'English' in front of the description if my language is English.A language label should only appear if there is no description in my language, but a description is available in another language.

Actual behavior

The 'English' label appears before the description, even though my language is English.I have seen a number of files with that problem in recent weeks.

This is due to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Description and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Ls generating different markup (TemplateParser::parseContents in CommonsMetadata was written with Template:Description in mind).

I think the community should come up with a standard way of marking up languages first, otherwise this will have to be fixed every time someone comes up with a new way of internationalizing template contents. I have started a discussion at

Is this is duplicate of, or a sub-task of, T76037: Mediaviewer should strip 'English:' prefix from {{mld}} descriptions from Wikimedia Commons ?

Yeah, the mingle imports are full of duplicates.
