[the things we think about on long commutes and not wanting to do more work]
An issue that has long perplexed me with WD and the book and edition properties, and translations.
If every edition is based on a publication (time and place), and someone does a translation, then this translation is going to be a new edition, new translator(s), different VIAF, etc. [basically it has its own metadata] so it is a different WD entry.
Sooooo, how do we use WD to do interlanguage linking, as by it's definition about all we could link are disambiguation pages. Seems pointless, and self-defeating.
Regards, Billinghurst.
Could you provide a clear example. English is not my native language and I'm a bit lost. Among other unclear stuff : are you talking about edited translation or home-made Wikisource translation ? or Why can't you link WD to non-disambig pages ? (depends on the item but as I said I'm lost)
