Hoi, Either you accept the consensus or you don't. Hiding behind Lydia is not graceful. How often is it necessary to indicate that you CAN show "localised names" as long as they are the labels used in Wikidata and as long as they come witha text we have the needed functionality.
It is just not the solution you have been looking for is it.. BUT it does satisfy our and Lydia's needs. Wonderful right? Thanks, GerardM

I agree too. Also note that property IDs are language-neutral, unlike english names of templates, magic words, etc.
As I said: if there is broad conseus to only use P-numbers to refer to properties, fine with me (note however that Lydia disagrees, and it's her decision). I like the idea of having the option of accessing properties via localized names, but if there is no demand for this possibility, and it's a pain to implement, I won't complain about dropping support for that.
But *if* we allow access to properties via localized unique labels (as we currently do), then we really *should* allow the same via unique aliases, so property labels can be chanegd without breaking stuff.
