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":"Q49330", "concepturi":"http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q49330";, "url":"//www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q49330", "title":"Q49330", "pageid":51315, "label":"\u00c4rzte ohne Grenzen", "description":"organization" ,"match":{"type":"label","language":"de","text":"\u00c4rzte ohne Grenzen"} }, The current entity Q49330 has no German "description" field so the English description is returned instead. The API is definitely broken. Either the full result should be one language or all strings should be marked with a language, e.g. "label": { "de": "...", "en": "..." }, "alias": { "de": ["..."] }, "description": { "en": "..." }, I'd like to specify multiple languages to search in and multiple langauges to get result in. For instance search in Greek and Turkish (when looking for a name that could be in any of these two languages) and get results also in English (beause I don't read first two languages).
