The Problem
The language selector for the query service interface is using very old data, which means some of the translations for the query service UI can't be selected, because the language switcher does not find the language.
For example, when entering ms-arab in the language selector on https://query.wikidata.org/, it doesn't find any results.
The language code was added to langdb 6 years ago. There are translations for it.
It also means some languages have bad autonyms, e.g. enter "ryu" and it shows "ʔucināguci".
This was changed in langdb 2 years ago.
Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Visit https://query.wikidata.org/
- Open the language selector and type ms-arab
What happens?:
No result is shown
What should have happened instead?:
- The language should be shown as it is when typing ms-arab on the Query Builder language selector
