Hi, "Why does Multilingual Wikisource exist" is a long and unrelated question (but to sum it very badly and quickly: Multilingual Wikisource is not just an incubator, it's also a kind of Meta for Wikisource and has some specific uses and extensions).
That said, thanks Vito! It gave me an idea, I looked at the Incubator, Meta, Wikidata or Commons sitelinks in Wikidata : *the language of these sitelinks is also English* (see this SPARQL query https://w.wiki/32N5 ). The problem is more general than just the Multilingual Wikisource... Cheers, ~nicolas Le mer. 24 févr. 2021 à 14:55, Gerard Meijssen <[email protected]> a écrit : > Hoi, > You are right.
