What about: People can contribute screenshots in whatever language they want and the screenshot will be language-tagged. A viewer-frontend can then adopt a behavior like "show all screenshots of my language, and if none exist, fallback to English". (Or optionally append English ones even if native-language ones exist, or append all, or whatever strategy you want..) I would guess that for most languages you end up with seeing most screenshots in English, but that's no regression compared to the present situation.
