I agree with Billinghurst that user-made translations do not necessarily have to be dealt with the same way published editions/translations are. However, if the user-made translation is connected to the same WD item as the original work (edition, actually), then we should indicate which of the Wikisource links really leads to the text the statements refer to (i.e., the original work). This can easily be done with property 953, "full text available at".

Nahum,
I suppose the predominant part of my discussion was focusing on published translations, rather than WS-generated translations.
- because many famous works have (famous) published translations, each
with their own translator(s), date of publication, publisher, ... all worthy of noting and WD'ing.
- you can only link to one work per wiki at WD, and as an example of an
issue , I know of numbers of Chekov's works that enWS hosts where we have multiple published translations. So enWS needs a means for link generation for many to one (at ruWS), or for English language works, we may need a one to any.
When it comes to WS-generated translations, I can see that we may or may not wish to call those translations their own edition. If a translation passes a notability check of its own edition, then separate, if not, maybe then it comes off the other original language work. (Maybe leave that decision with the xxWS to determine???).
What I am hoping to see is a tool that provides the maximum flexibity and credibility for the WSes, yet gives best visibility and authority at WD.

Wait a minute. If a work esists in, say, ru.wikisource, And then someone translates that work and posts his translation under a free license in he.wikisource, I am not to link the hebrew version to its source in ru.ws on wikidata, But to create a seperate wikidata entry for it? This makes zero sense to me, and we never did it this way on he.wikisource.

Wikidata discourages interwiki links
Looking at Zhuangzi (Q1074987) *Zhuanhgzi*, I see that this data item is only for the work as it exists in Chinese. The work as translated into English is a separate data item, and the French Wikisource translation is another data item.
Effectively, this means that Wikidata discourages interwiki links to and between Wikisource projects, because they will never be part of the same data item. Further, anyone seeking a translation of a work into another language must first come to Wikidata and surf the links even to find out if translations of a work in another language exist on Wikisource; it is not possible to do that from any Wikisource directly.
I thought the whole point of moving the links to Wikidata was to promote connections between projects, not to eliminate them. But perhaps I am wrong. --EncycloPetey ( talk ) 02:19, 26 July 2015 (UTC) @EncycloPetey : There are other ways to create interwiki by the help of Wikidata. See s:sv:Bibeln 1917 where I have made some tests with the Bible (Q1845) . The interwiki is created by the help of a Lua-module that follows edition(s) (P747) and edition or translation of (P629) . The big advantage is that it makes possible to create intewiki to more than one page in every project. For example, that page have 13 links to enwikisource. -- Innocent bystander (talk ) 05:49, 26 July 2015 (UTC) @Innocent bystander :This is very interesting, what template (and Lua-module) do you use ? it should be done for all wikisources, that often have a lot of translated texts :) -- Hsarrazin (talk ) 09:43, 26 July 2015 (UTC) @Hsarrazin : It's s:sv:Modul:Sandlåda/Innocent bystander
who today is included in s:sv:Mall:Titel , a template that can be found in almost every page on svsource. Observe that the module is not secured against loops in the P747/P629-hierarcy. It also needs support by the "interwiki-extra"-class in s:sv:MediaWiki:Common.js , otherwise you cannot have more than one interwiki in each page. -- Innocent bystander (talk ) 10:11, 26 July 2015 (UTC)BTW, another thing the code does: It makes it possible to have interwiki to the Text-namespaces in als/bar/frr/pflwikis. -- Innocent bystander (talk ) 10:18, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
