nichtich added a comment. At least the documentation lacks a clear description of this complex language negotiation mechanism (`uselang` is not mentioned. Meaning of 'strictlanguage' unclear, examples only refer to Engli

Addshore added a comment. So this is due to language fallback. DE falls back to EN. Again I don't see anything in the comment that we did not explicitly design into this version of the API module. You search in a language (with fallback) The matched result is always returned to you, with what th

nichtich added a comment. I found an example where even `uselang` and `language` does not help but part of the response is always English: https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbsearchentities&search=%C3%84rzte%20ohne&language=de&format=json&uselang=de contains the result { "id":"
