Yahoo! has finally decided to get rid of their current Photos property and to only support Flickr for photo hosting from now on. There is an article about this on TechCrunch and the Photos FAQ also offers advise regarding the topic.
What I’m wondering is how people who were used to the internationalized version of Photos will react to this move? Flickr is available in English only at the moment, while Yahoo! Photos has been available in a number of languages. Can we expect an I18N-Flickr soon? I remember there being a presentation by someone from Flickr’s staff where they said that the site was built with I18N in mind from the very first day. And let’s face it: There are very active Flickr members who have most likely never written a comment in English but only in their mother-tongue. Wouldn’t it be great for those people and for the gazillion people coming from Photos to have the whole site in their native language then, too? We will see.
