Betreff: [Mediawiki-api] RV: Wikidata API Language not working

Hello,

I'm using the Wikidata api to translate entities ids to its name in English and Spanish. I found out that the language parameter is not working

When I search for the entity id: Q2537 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2537)

Search request in English: https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbsearchentities&search=Q2537&language=en&format=json
Response: {"searchinfo":{"search":"Q2537"},"search":[{"id":"Q2537","concepturi":"http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2537","url":"//www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2537","title":"Q2537","pageid":3505,"label":"natural satellite","description":"celestial body that orbits a planet or smaller body","match":{"type":"entityId","text":"Q2537"},"aliases":["Q2537"]}],"success":1}

Search request in Spanish: https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbsearchentities&search=Q2537&language=es&format=json
Response: {"searchinfo":{"search":"Q2537"},"search":[{"id":"Q2537","concepturi":"http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2537","url":"//www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2537","title":"Q2537","pageid":3505,"label":"natural satellite","description":"celestial body that orbits a planet or smaller body","match":{"type":"entityId","text":"Q2537"},"aliases":["Q2537"]}],"success":1}

Notice that I'm changing the language parameter, but the results are always in English.

I tried other languages, like fr (French), and the response is also in English.
When I made up a language it gives an error search.

I hope you can attend to this issue,
Thank you.

Dèlia
