I was using drupal translations and didn't want to re-tag all the images on flickr for each translated pages. So what I've done is replaced the code in the function flickr_node_get_tag to get the translation set id (if it exists) instead of the node id. IOW replacing:

  // Get Flickr nodes variables
  $namespace = _flickr_nodes_variable('prefix');
  $predicate = $node->type;
  $value = $node->nid;

with

  // Get Flickr nodes variables
  $namespace = _flickr_nodes_variable('prefix');
  $predicate = $node->type;
  $value = $node->nid;
  if ($node->tnid != 0) $value = $node->tnid;
