query.wikidata.org/bigdata/ldf - Language string should include language tag
Open, MediumPublicBUG REPORT

Description

This may be a feature request, not a bug. Hard to judge.

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

What happens?:

When we query for language strings (e.g. labels) with https://query.wikidata.org/bigdata/ldf, the results are in format "cat"^^http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#langString, but they have no indication of their particular language (e.g. "cat"@en).

What should have happened instead?:

The language string should include its language tag, e.g. "cat"@en. Compare to DBpedia's LDF service
Without the language tag, the language strings are pretty much useless.
In my particular case, i use Wikidata's Linked Data Fragments Endpoint when querying wikidata with Comunica, but i can't filter the results by language
