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

Hoi,
The first two languages are now available in Wikidata.
Excuse me, what does that mean? The first two languages of what?
My proposal is to add all the languages that are
eligible on Meta and
certainly those that have a presence in the Incubator.
Thanks,
Gerard
