Category talk:DE image redirects

I'm curious: Is there a reason to add a redirect from a translated (German) file name to the original file, instead of just using the original file in the translated article? What is the benefit of adding these redirects, and using those file names in the translated page's source? --CerbrusNL (talk) 11:45, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Maybe it is related to ItemLink. --Kwjcool321 (talk) 12:32, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, that'd make sense. ItemLink uses  to get the image url. --CerbrusNL (talk) 12:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * ItemLink and other templates that assume file names, and just generally allowing other languages to use their translated names without duplicating files. --Mr Pie 5 (talk) 02:23, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
