Hoi,

No Wikidata is a resource where specific properties to a language can be added. By adding this to Wikidata it gains functionality for everyone. It is NOT a function that is used to consume content in that language, it is a side effect and in my opinion a welcome side effect at that.

Thanks,

I think the reason for simply allowing any (639-3) language to be included into Wikidata, without any software localisation requirements, was that it could also be dead languages (similar to how Wikisources can be approved in dead languages without requiring interface translations).
