How to add new inspirations for more languages?

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.
