O_o Why do we have multiple Incubator-like
platforms again? Multilingual
Wikisource is a model that has clearly been rendered obsolete by the
technical demands of our movement, so it -- and Beta Wikiversity for that
matter -- should be merged with the Incubator. Multilingual texts, if any,
can be kept as duplicates in each relevant project. It's not like Wikipedia
where people can work on and improve the content and maintaining multiple
copies would be problematic. WS is a repository, so it's perfectly possible
to not keep everything in the same bowl. Typological distinctions are
extremely controversial to begin with, and we are not exactly helping
ourselves with a container project that is not built on the ISO 639-3
system.

Hi,
English is clearly and obviously wrong. "mul" or "und" are not
perfect
but far better (and "mul" seems to fit better I guess).
Anyway, the multilingual wikisource is meant to be a temporary
incubation so maybe we don't need perfect here as the point will solve
itself eventually as the language gets its own Wikisource.
@Gerard: yes title can easily be changed (or not used, whatever and what
not) but here we are talking about the language of the sitelink (which also
raises the question of the language of the website which is also "en" right
now), and that part can't be changed by the user (and AFAIK is unique for a
wikimedia project).
Cheers, ~nicolas

Hoi,
In Wikidata there is a property "title" is has a mandatory parameter in
the language. It is also used for books and other publications... It is
completely separate from the link to the Wiki .. it being English is
totally irrelevant, it can be removed changed whatever from the Wikidata
item.
Thanks,
Gerard
