Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Wikidata/Optional native language label language name
Optional native language label language name
- Problem: In the label box on Wikidata, all names are printed in Swedish, this bothers me a bit as I want to be able to read them in the native language instead, for example Deutsch instead of German, français instead of French, etc.
- Proposed solution: Introducing the technical possibility to change the display language of the labels so that you can choose whether you want translated or native names on the labels
- Who would benefit: People who mostly edit in a few languages and don't necessarily want to see them translated into the interface language.
- More comments: See my other suggestions on how to improve the label list on Wikidata: Show Wikimedias language code and language name in Wikidata label box, Sort label box by language name on Wikidata

Support —2dk (talk) 19:21, 10 February 2023 (UTC)- Support They all show in English for me despite that not being my interface language so that would be an improvement. عُثمان (talk) 23:32, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
