Tricky to support *all* languages how, Markus? 

(CC WUaS in Wikidata seeks to be in all 7,943+ languages per Glottolog, beyond Wikipedia's 300).

Thank you, 
Scott

Would it be possible to set the language used to search with? Whilst I most
often use English on Wikidata I'm sure a lot of people don't.
Not yet. The query takes quite a while, so it's done in realtime but
every 24 hours, and then it's compiled to the HTML list. Adding
multi-language support would be a bit more cumbersome. I'm open to
pull requests though ;)

Yes, as usual: it is easy to support *any* language, but tricky to support *all* languages.

I would just filter this in code; a more complex SPARQL query is just getting slower.
Here is a little example Python script that gets all the data you need:
Ah, excellent. In that case i'll just do a query and filter in Python.

I intend to use this in our upcoming new class/property browser as well.
Maybe it would actually make sense to merge the two applications at some point
I hope the propbrowser will be made irrelevant by improvements in
other tools and the main Wikidata site ;)

We shall see. For now, it is certainly not obsolete. There might also be different tools with different specialisations.
