Description

Summary

On the Hindi test instance, the small "topic type" chip on each result card displays a raw Q-ID (e.g. "Q112193867") instead of a readable name when the outline's Wikidata item has no Hindi label even when the item on the card itself has a perfectly good Hindi label.

Example - searching "तपेदिक" (tuberculosis) shows a card titled "तपेदिक" in Hindi, but the chip below reads "Q112193867" instead of "रोग" (Disease).
