Hoi,

In the past we decided that languages when eligible could be allowed to edit on Wikidata. Two languages have been added successfully now.

When enough labels are added in a language to an item, all of the information about it will show up in that language. But even better, when search in a Wiki is extended with WD-search (it takes a line in the common.js) results will show for the label searched. This means for instance that when people from the Ottoman empire have their name in Ottoman Turkish in Wikidata, they will be found and there will be no mistakes because of all kinds of differing transliterations..

So my proposal is to add all eligible languages so that they become available in Wikidata.

Thanks,

     GerardM

Excuse me, what does that mean? The first two languages of what?
