(But note that this does change the whole UI language, not just the data.)
(And for context, I’m pretty sure the reason we don’t respect
Accept-Language for anonymous users is that it would hurt caching.)

Hello Darren,
Using uselang parameter in the URL should do the trick, if I get what
you're up to correctly.
e.g.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q666?uselang=ja
Best!

I wanted to send someone a URL to show them how a data item looks in
Japanese (so we could see which items have a translation). But am I
right in thinking there is nothing I can put in the URL to do this?
I also tried changing my accept-language header to put "ja" first, but
it is ignored. Was this a feature that was discussed and rejected; or
just an itch that no-one has got around to scratching yet?

P.S. I realize I can login, change my UI to another language, and see
the data that way. But that is quite a long-winded process, especially
if the person has not created an account yet.
It also changes the whole UI, not just the data, which is painful if I
just want to see what has been translated but cannot read the
language.
I think for a project about data, you should be able to set the UI
language and the content language separately.
E.g. I just put a page into Greek (I think), and now I can see the few
items that have been translated, but cannot read the property
names! Let
alone navigate the site.) (The switch back to previous language
link at
the top was a great idea, though - thank-you to whoever thought of
that
shortcut.)
