Agree that conceptually difficult to explain simply. Found an interesting case that may help...
"Notes by an Oxford Chiel" /book/ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19297412 /en edition/ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16604365 /en work/ https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Notes_by_an_Oxford_Chiel /de article/ https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notes_by_an_Oxford_Chiel Now if we have a de published translation it would get it's own /de edition/ with it's own translators, viaf, etc. and it gets it's own dewikisource link. So it has no inter-language link to enwikisource and v.v. It would link back to the /book/ and the /book/ has edition(s) that link the both editions. Now how do we trace links between those works and pull usable data at a WS template? It didn't take to dig out an example and as time passes and effort continues this will be more and more the case.
