LGTM; I have some comments on the Wikidata.org change that aren’t required, but also CI is currently broken anyway, so I might as well kick this back to Audrey 😇️ once CI is back alive we can merge the Wikibase and Wikidata.org changes either as-is or as-updated. (The config change comment is not optional, I think, unless you manage to convince me otherwise.)

You should be able to see a translated WikiProject Music name here: https://test.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42?uselang=de

Arian_Bozorg moved this task from Product Verification to Done - Moving a task here will move it to the completed tasks workboard, resolve the ticket, and assign it to whomever made the move on the Wikidata-Omega (The Board) board.

Looks good to me!
