Hi,
User:VIGNERON had the idea of a workshop at Wikimania to work on this
problem:
Maybe we should do online sessions to regularly reduce the gap on labels
and descriptions?

Hi all,
If you look in the recent changes, most items have labels in English and
those are shown in the recent changes and elsewhere (so we know what the
item is about without opening first). But not all items have labels, and
these items without English label are often items with only a label in
Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic script, Hebrew, etc. This forms a significant
gap.
Is there a way to easily make a transcription from one language to another?
Or alternatively if there is a database that has such transcriptions?
Also the other way round might be helpful for users of Wikidata that
use/read it in Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic script, Hebrew, etc.
Thanks!
Romaine
