  Hi @Arian_Bozorg ,
  
  We had a chat about this on Mattermost 
<https://mattermost.wikimedia.de/swe/pl/xurtp59fpj885g1p1u1x1gycfa>. Moving the 
translation strings themselves is easy and I've created a couple of patches to 
do that.
  
  What I also understand from the ticket is a wish to have these links 
automatically added to the sidebar of Mediawikis where the WikibaseLexeme 
plugin has been installed. This is possible, but the mechanisms we have to do 
this are not very smart. In particular, two issues show up:
  
    - If the user has already configured these links in their sidebar, do we 
want to duplicate them, replace them, or do nothing in that case?
      - What should be considered as the same link?
        - If the link target is the same?
        - If the link title is the same?
        - What if the link target is similar but, for example, has additional 
query parameters in the link that the user already has in their sidebar? Do we 
replace it or keep their version?
  - If the user has customised their sidebar and simply doesn't want these 
links to show up, what facility do we give them to prevent that?
  
  The status quo would be that we ship the translations, and it's up to the 
user to configure their Sidebar as they wish (and for wikidata.org, obviously, 
we wish to have those links there). What is your wish here?
