Yes, I wanted to say this too! Even a single use of "uselang" in the
examples would have been helpful. Plus, it does seem strange that all the
examples involve data being both queried and displayed in English.

Perhaps an example making use of uselang would be useful?

I agree - it would be great if help pages like
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help=wbsearchentities
could also mention parameters such as "uselang", even if those apply to
all of MediaWiki.

Dmitry,
Looking at mailing list history and API Project talk pages... this has been
asked tens of times in the past year or so. ;-) (just an observation)
So "uselang" probably does deserve at least a small mention on the
wbsearchentities help page and then in that mention, just provide the link
Okay, now I get it - thanks again.

The "uselang" parameter applies to the base (main) module, and
automatically gets used by other modules that are part of the API call:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help=main

Hi Dmitry,
Great, thank you!
It looks like "uselang" still needs to be added to the documentation for
this API action:

Yep, just add the "uselang" parameter:

Hi,
When you call the "wbsearchentities" API, the main label and description
returned for each item are always hardcoded in English. (Which is strange.)
Thankfully, it also returns the label for each item in the specified
language - here is an example:
