As reported on:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:UI_redesign_input#Multi-language_enhancements
"Multi-language support for labels, descriptions, aliases input. It's obviously
totally unclear to many beginners, for which language their input fields are
and how they can change it. This is resulting in masses of wrong-language input
(Special:AbuseFilter/8 alone, which only covers the insertion of language names
in those fields, is triggered every 30 minutes). Even if I know how to change
the ULS language and how to control the language selection by babel boxes, it's
not possible to see (let alone edit) labels/descriptions/aliases in all
languages without the use of an external tool. There has to be a way to see and
edit the complete content of a Wikidata item, and it has always to be clear
which language I edit if I change something in a certain edit field. --YMS

"+1. When I maintain the template items, I have to edit massively the labels to
put "Template:X" instead of "Template:X/docs", for average 5 labels languages
per items, for approximately 500 or 1000 items. I didn't do it, because it's to
awful... --Nouill (talk) 13:51, 22 February 2014 (UTC)"
