It seems to me that there might be some confusion between two kinds of language
fallback, so I'd like to clarify.

One kind is fallback between various variants of the same language like sr-el →
sr or zh-hant → zh. These are the variants specified with 'variant' query
parameter on Wikipedia, except that on Wikidata there may be additional
fallbacks like simple → en. This should even be invisible to the user who
doesn't have to know what variant is actually in the database.

It is entirely another kind of fallback when we simply don't have the content
in user's language or any variant and are supplying another language that we
assume the user knows. In this case, language of the fallback should be visibly
displayed to the user.
