maybe the most important question first: is it the goal that human
editors extend / correct this data in wikidata, or is there a feed?
if it is really humans who should enter data:
thanks for the hint magnus, i can see it now, hallelujah. i'd have
never in my life the idea to change the GUI language in preferences to
"de" to change the contents language. and, it takes 8 clicks on a
smaller screen - enough so i would not do it more than one time every
5 years :)
