You really don't read what I write or is it me who
speaks so badly I can't
make myself understood ? I'm beginning to wonder ... :)

Hoi,
You rest your case Fine. You do not address the point that an official
name is exactly that. It is the name as used by authorities. Typically it
is what is used in registers, in passports. You do not have those for your
convenience in any language. It does not matter what you can read or not.
What matters is that you can accept is that it is not about you and your
understanding. For this it is not relevant.
When you want to make a trip to another country you look for the label
for your item.
Thanks,
GerardM

part of the work in Wikidata is building the database and guessing what
could be unidentified items there only is informations in a language we
don't understand or an alphabet we can't read. And there is no label in our
language, and we want to put some. In that case, any information is useful.
Or we plan a trip in the country in question and we want to have an idea of
how to say the name in the language, or ...
