Makes sense. I'll look into how to get those. Is language code OK or we
need full language name (uk vs. Ukrainian)?

One thing to note here is that secondary languages have no order - i.e.
if you look in German, and there's no matching German label, but there
are 10 other language labels all the same (happens a lot for names &
places), which language will be selected is anybody's guess. We could
add rule that says "look at English as secondary first", in theory, but
not sure whether we should - after all, besides having most languages,
(and us speaking it :) there's not much special about it.

OK.

OK, I'll try to make this.

OK then, I'll feel free to shuffle things around then :) Having more
freedom in the title line is good because we can then display both label
& aliases.

Thanks!
