  In an attempt to un-stall this I will try to formulate a question to answer.
  
  This blew up recently because of T281272: HTTP 500 error for 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q30.rdf / ttl 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281272> but has been working previously. 
However providing labels etc for all languages is deemed by developers as 
bloating the response and a hit on performance.
  
  Proposed solutions.
  
  1. Don't do anything (Perfectly valid situation but the output will be 
massive, performance issues, etc.) (note: Q42 currently gives around 1mb of RDF 
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q42.rdf>)
  2. No label or description being output (The `dump` flavor does this. Not 
necessary bad but the most drastic change.)
  3. Only output a set of languages to
    1. Use request language (uselang=?) defaulting to the site language and 
fallback using a language fallback chain 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T285795#7189562>
    2. Some pre-defined set of languages, but which?
  
  When discussed this morning the favored solutions seems to be 3A, however 
this means we change a big part of the output by leaving out other languages.
  
  The open questions i see are:
  
  - Which solution do we go with?
  - Will this be welcome by the consumers of the api (Not having all the 
languages in the dump)?
