Hi Amir!

You set the page's label in Arabic, you did not change the sitelink, the link to
the Arabic Wikipedia. You can see that the label has changed by looking at the
page in Arabic, like so:

http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/wiki/Q392?uselang=ar

I can see how this is confusing, perhaps we need to talk about labels vs. links
explicitly in the documentation, and provide some examples.

Look for instructions about setting sitelinks in the documentation - or ask John
(CC) for help.

Btw: keep in mind that for labels, you are setting the text for a specific
language, while for sitelinks, you set the target page for a given site.
