Hi Daniel, Sadly "[AUTO_LANGUAGE]" is a magic word managed by the GUI itself[1] (using javascript on the client browser) and explains why this query cannot be used as-is via the sparql endpoint. You can check by using a very simple query[2] and inspect the query sent to the sparql endpoint using your browser debugging tool. There seems to be discussions around standardizing[3] something similar to the wdsq label service at the sparql level but I'm not sure if this is covering this case: have a way to pass a user preferred language through some content negotiation HTTP headers like "Accept-Language".
