Bug ID: 55998
Summary: Wikidata have to provide a syntax to show the
properties in a language different from the wiki's
content language
Product: MediaWiki extensions

On wikis whose content is in written in more than one language (or more than
one variant), it is necessary to provide a way to show the properties of an
item in different languages.
This was requested back in January 2013 in the thread "Is the inclusion syntax
powerful enough?",
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-l/2013-January/001591.html
and April 2013 at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikidata/Notes/Inclusion_syntax_v0.3#Alternate_languages
but since the current description of the inclusion syntax doesn't mention any
way to do achieve this, I assume it is not implemented yet:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/Inclusion_syntax_v0.4?oldid=5701329
At a minimum, when the content language and the user language are variants of a
common language (such as "pt" and "pt-br", or), we should be able to see the
content in the user language. If a generic "language" parameter is provided,
one could use {{int:Lang}} as a workaround (as is done on Wikimedia Commons,
for template i18).
For example, in an article from ptwiki linked to [[d:Q5153194]], there should
be a way to get {{#property:P36}} in both pt (rato) and pt-BR (mouse).
