Comment (by kimjiwoon):

 Replying to [comment:1 dd32]:
 Translating the name and description text for every single photo is, of
 course, not realistically possible.

 However, I believe it is possible—and worthwhile—to localize the directory
 structure itself. For areas where manual translation isn’t feasible, using
 a translation API might be a practical solution.

 This issue also applies to the Patterns directory. When a pattern is
 originally designed in English, translating it into Korean sometimes
 requires redesigning the layout itself to better fit the translated
 content and cultural context.

 > At present the Photo directory is not localised, nor is it available in
 non-english locales.
 >
 > For example, https://ko.wordpress.org/photos/ does not exist.
 >
 > I don't see any reason it shouldn't be localised, although I would ask
 how many people would likely translate the `Alternative Text` for every
 photo (But that being kept in English is probably OK when a translation
 isn't available)
