There's no way to read a Wikidata item's label unless it is written in one of the languages in the user's Babel box

Description

I looked at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q26857870 . There is a label for it only in French. French didn't appear in my Babel box. So I saw a list of empty labels in languages that I have in my Babel box, but no actual name anywhere. After I added French to my Babel box and refreshed the item page, the name appeared.

It would be more useful to show the label in a language that I don't know that not to show anything at all.

There is "all entered languages" that will show you all. I agree it is not well designed though.

Heh, it's indeed there, and I didn't see it ;)

I guess that it should at least be smarter when none of the initially-shown languages have anything at all, and show something.
