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

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

Ah ok. Which are these languages?

I think the advantages are clear to us.
So my proposal is to add all eligible languages so that they become
available in Wikidata.
Thanks, GerardM
No oppose from me. Btw, what is the current process to add a language to wikidata? How did the 2 languages you mentioned do it?

I don't see why not. What would be the reasons for not to do that?
