Fallback language #10
Comments
Hi Dominic, Thanks for using this and reporting this issue! ❤️ That do sounds like a real issue, would something like a comma-separated value as an attribute would work? <a is="wd-link" entity-id="Q80" site="zhwikiquote, enwikiquote">
Tim's quote
</a> We can easily add something for the <wd-entity entity-id="Q42" description lang="en, de, zh, ja"/> Does this sound like a good way for you as a user? But I do have an issue personally when I try to use one of the I'm wondering if you have any thought around this. Thanks so much for using this! |
I like the version with the commas. I was asking myself if I prefer spaces (like with class attributes), but I guess I prefer commas. Here the language fallback is discussed: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/Language_fallback (I haven't read it yet). I think it would be good, if Wikidata would give a last fallback. Perhaps trying English if everything else fails? There is for sure much space for improvement, but the fallback list alone would help a lot already. |
There are items without a label in a specific language. For example, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q86924750 does not have a label in German. If I specify German, I don't a label back.
It would be nice to have a fallback-language. Perhaps use english as default?
I'm not sure what's the way to go forward, but some kind of solution would be really nice.
