To contribute to wikidata you need to be able to speak all the Languages used in the project[edit]

According to me i don't think its necessary to speak all languages used in the wikidata project in order to make a contribution . I believe if a field for automatic translation into the language of preference is placed then its should be able to sort out the challenge of Multilingual (Different Languages being used ) in the form.

I also don't think is necessary to know or speak all the languages, I think there is automated translation to the language of preference.  Magretiah (talk) 12:58, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Each Language has its own independent set of facts , just like Wikipedia[edit]

According to me in wikidata and Wikipedia each set of facts may be presented in different narrative ways depending on how translations are done in the different languages . But i believe the meaning of the fact or data presented in summary will reflect the same information at the end though in different versions. Maziraflo (talk) 06:39, 20 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

the translation keeps the language fact but not losing the content. Magretiah (talk) 13:01, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Entries to wikiata are in English but the labels should be translated by Hand into other Language[edit]

I don't agree with this statement because not all countries use English has official communication language especially for learners. It should be made flexible Maziraflo (talk) 06:47, 20 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

don't agree with the statement as English is not the only communication language.  Magretiah (talk) 13:03, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

You can work in the language of your choice , since the underlying data is independent of your wikidata language preference[edit]

I agree with this statement , because data or information is presented accurately in a language you better under stand. Maziraflo (talk) 06:54, 20 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I agree with the statement.  Magretiah (talk) 13:04, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
