Hi,
I was alerted that there are many properties without a label in zh-Hant https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=-haslabel%3Azh-hant&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&advancedSearch-current=%7B%7D&ns120=1. When I reviewed the search result, I was surprised to see Chinese traditional (zh-Hant) and simplified scripts (zh-Hans) were both recorded under the lable Chinese (zh).
Does anyone know if there are guidelines for entering data under different language tags, subtags for script and region? Thank you for your help.

Hoi, For Wikipedia we have a tool that provides to the reader the simplified or traditional representation based on the users preference. We could do that for Wikidata if we cared to. The same is true for Commons, its search engine works for any language based on the availability of Wikidata labels in other languages and we could serve more than half the world's population if we cared to. Thanks, GerardM
