Re: [Wikidata] How many languages supports Wikibase/Wikidata?

And likewise, any possibility to integrate these new relational database
software developments out of MIT - "Democratizing databases: With a new
tool, any competent spreadsheet user can construct custom database
interfaces" ... https://news.mit.edu/2016/spreadsheet-databases-0708 - with
Wikidata/Wikibase and the languages Wikidata supports?

Cheers, Scott

Hello discussion list:
I have a need to hire someone familiar with not just a wiki API, as that 
appears simple enough; As I've sent out requests for quotes to pull political 
information through the API to developers, I'm finding the outrageous costs 
involved to be not for the programming skills but because of how to efficiently 
go after the data I want, not to mention the countless hours I'm going through 
to determine a flow chart of links.
I'm looking to pay someone who could stream line this for me. Ideally you would 
know word press and will integrate my portal onto my website.
Thank you in  advanceDavid hahnwebstuf...@gmail.com

Hi Jan and Wikidatans,

That sounds about right.

I think the possible number of Wikidata languages (and inter-lingual
developments) will emerge as these two projects develop a little further -

RFC: Per-language URLs for multilingual wiki pages -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114662 -

RFC: make Parser::getTargetLanguage aware of multilingual wikis -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114640 -

which I just learned yesterday in the #wikimedia-office hour at 2pm PT (on
Wednesdays).

CC World University and School, which is like CC Wikipedia with CC MIT OCW
in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC (and planning online free best STEM CC OCW
accrediting university degrees in ~204 countries' main and official
languages) is seeking additionally to develop wiki schools for open
teaching and learning in all 7,943+ languages building in CC
Wikidata/Wikibase, if possible - as well as for an universal translator.
How easy ahead will it be to simply "populate" a list of all 8K languages
in Wikidata/Wikibase for various artificial intelligence, machine learning
and machine translation developments?

Best,
Scott
