Re: [Wikidata] Guidelines for entering label in various languages, e.g. Chinese

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
For Wikipedia we have a tool that provides to the reader the simplified or
traditional representation based on the users preference. We could do that
for Wikidata if we cared to. The same is true for Commons, its search
engine works for any language based on the availability of Wikidata labels
in other languages and we could serve more than half the world's population
if we cared to.
Thanks,
  GerardM

[Wikidata] Guidelines for entering label in various languages, e.g. Chinese

[j s]

Hi,

I was alerted that there are many properties without a label in zh-Hant 
.
 When I reviewed the search result, I was surprised to see Chinese traditional 
(zh-Hant) and simplified scripts (zh-Hans) were both recorded under the lable 
Chinese (zh).

Does anyone know if there are guidelines for entering data under different 
language tags, subtags for script and region? Thank you for your help.
