At least in the JOSM editor there is an additional text in English near
the wikidata code-title.
Since the wikidata title (or name) is usually translated on the wikidata
page itself in different languages and it is a part of the accessible
database, this text could be in different languages in a map editor.
If there is no translation of the wikidata item in a particular
language, one can add it, even if there is no Wikipedia article in this
language. The wikidata also contains the description and the alternative
name.
So basically having the wikidata code-name, it is possible to display
the name and even the description in any language of choice in a map editor.
So wikidata makes makes it technically possible to implement the modern
principle stating that the true international language is the translation.
Best regards,
Oleksiy

Yes, wikidata tag may be useful but it is an alphanumeric gibberish
