Cannot add non-English labels, aliases & descriptions via GUI in Wikibase Docker
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

I experience the same problem as was described at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66444932/adding-more-languages-in-wikibase.

So, let's create an entity with a label, alias and description in default English language. Then I want to add label in German, for example. But the Wikibase frontend does not show labels, aliases and descriptions in non-English languages in editing mode. Well, I can I add the labels via API, but not via GUI.

Is it by purpose? I use the latest Wikibase Release Pipeline Docker.

Well, I've just understood that if I append ?uselang=de to the URL, then the box with German label, description and aliases appears. Oh... P.S. This can be closed, I think.
