I was under the impression that this applies to making a *project* available in a new language. Which means splitting/duplicating the content along the language boundary - which of course is very political. I was not aware that the same applies to *interface* languages. Wikidata of course is special in that you can mix and match content in any interface language. Do you think the language policy applies, or should apply, to which languages can be used e.g. in image descriptions on commons, or for labels on wikidata? Until now, I was under the impression that this was up to the community alone. -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler Senior Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V. _______________________________________________ Wikidata-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l
