Just an idea for further extension: If the lang parameter would take a list of languages, a fallback mechanism could be addressed. E.g., "&lang=de,en" could display German labels, or English, in case the former are missing.
Perhaps, such a mechanism could also incite people to translate labels or descriptions into "their" languages.
Yes, Reasonator has this feature. Definitely very useful. The problem is that you need to remember if the language is the intended one or a substitute so you can highlight this to users. We are caching labels in the browser to speed up rendering, and this would require some changes there to keep this extra information in the cache. Doable, but a bit of work still. My first goal will be to provide full i18n and l10n for more languages.

Hi Markus,another language, by URL or otherwise?
Great work!
One short question: Is there a way to switch to labels and descriptions in
This feature is not fully implemented yet, but there is partial support for the
that can be tried out already. To use it, add the "lang="
parameter to the view URLs, like so:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=Q1339&lang=de
Once you did this, all links will retain this setting, so you can happily browse
along.
Limitations:
* It only works for the entity view perspective, not for the property and class
browser
* All labels will be translated to any language (if available), but the application
interface right now is only available in English and German
The feature will be extended further in the future, including support for user-
provided interface translations.

Betreff: [Wikidata] SQID: the new "Wikidata classes and properties browser"
Hi all,
As promised a while ago, we have reworked our "Wikidata Classes and
Properties" browser. I am happy to introduce the first beta version
of a new app, called SQID:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/
It is a complete rewrite of the earlier application. Much faster,
more usable, much more up-to-date information, supported on all
reasonable browsers, and with tons of new features. Try it yourself,
or read on for the main functions and current dev plans:
== Browse classes and properties ==
You can use it to find properties and class items by all kinds of filtering
course.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/browse?type=properties
http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/browse?type=classes
New features:
* Sort results by a criterion of choice
* Powerful, easy-to-use filtering interface
* Search properties by label, datatype, qualifiers used, or
co-occurring properties
* Search classes by label, (indirect) superclass or by properties
used on instances of the class
* All property statistics and some class statistics are updated every
hour
== View Wikidata entities ==
The goal was to have a page for every property and every class, but
we ended up having a generic data browser that can show all (live)
data + some additional data for classes and properties (this is our
main goal, but the other data is often helpful to understand the
context). The UI is modelled after Reasonator as the quasi-standard
of how Wikidata should look, but if you look beyond the surface you
can see many differences in what SQID will (or will not) display.
Examples:
* Dresden, a plain item with a lot of data:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=Q1731
* Volcano, a class with many subclasses:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=Q8072
* sex or gender, a frequently used property:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=P21
Notable features:
* Fast display
* All statement data with all qualifiers shown
* Extra statistical and live query data embedded
== General Wikidata statistics ==
As a minor feature, we also publish statistics on the weekly full
Wikidata dump (which we process to get some of the statistics):
http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/status
Don't trust the main page -- find out how many entities there really
are ;-)
== Plans, todos, feedback, contributions ==
We are on github, so please make feature requests and bug reports there:
https://github.com/Wikidata/WikidataClassBrowser/issues
Pull requests are welcome too.
Known limitations of the current version:
* Data update still a bit shaky. We refresh most statistical data
every hour (entity data is live anyway), but you may not see this
unless you clear your browser cache. This will be easier in the future.
* Entity data browser does not show sitelinks and references yet.
* Incoming properties not shown yet on entity pages
* I18N not complete yet (if you would like to try the current dev
status, see,
e.g.: http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=Q318&lang=de)
Moreover, we are also planning to integrate more data displays,
better live statistics, and editing capabilities. Developers who want
to help there are welcome. SQID can also be a platform for other data
display ideas (it's built using AngularJS, so integration is easy).
== And what about Miga? ==
The old Miga-based app at
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-exports/miga/ will be retired in due
Please update your links._______________________________________________
== Credits ==
I have had important development support from Markus Damm, Michael
Günther and Georg Wild. We are funded by the German Research
Foundation DFG. All of us are at TU Dresden. Complex statistics are
computed with Wikidata Toolkit. Live query results come from the
Wikidata SPARQL Query Service.
Enjoy,
Markus
