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

Hi,
Wikidata is adding support for sitelinks to the Multilingual Wikisource.
There's a discussion there about which language should it use. Currently
it's "en", which is not quite correct: technically, the site language of
Multilingual Wikisource is English, but most of the content is in other
languages.
Ideally, each link should specify the language of the page to which it's
linking, but currently this is not possible technically.
Until it's possible, suggestions to use "und" or "mul" have been
raised:

I don't have an opinion about this myself. Does anyone else have thoughts
about it?
