TASK DESCRIPTION When editing Wikidata, the default language is English unless the prefered language is translated, I'd like to have the option to change that to match items. The general gest is that if an item has a property pertaining to language (P364 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P364>, P1412 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P1412>, P6886 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P6886>, etc.), then links to said items should be shown in that language. Possibly only do this with help languages to avoid showing users etiquettes in a script they can't read or a description in a language they don't understand. That won't be helpful at all. I too often read items that pertain to an inherant Danish or Russian subject for instance, and it really rubs me the wrong way and is sometimes confusing that the etiquettes are in English. Especially when I know what the thing is called in the local language but didn't know what it was called in English. The point still stands that if I'm reading an item about a Bulgarian or Georgian subject, the idea that the language that the other untranslated items (e.g. people, organisations, companies) will be in is English is a bit silly to me. Either give me the option to choose which language(s) I can prioritize in a hiarchy, or develope this option that I just detailed above. That'd be much appreciated. /Sabelöga TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261907 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Sabeloga Cc: Aklapper, Sabeloga, Akuckartz, darthmon_wmde, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, dachary, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Ricordisamoa, Tacsipacsi, Sjoerddebruin, Mbch331
