Description

Steps to replicate the issue:

Go to https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q408
Choose a language such as Arabic which does not call Q408 by the string "Australia"

What happens?:
The "Generated Text" in language="Arabic" has a title "Australia". As far as I can tell editors/functions are not in control of this label. It changes only based on uselang.

What should have happened instead?:
The Arabic label should be shown.

Arabic good, thanks. Some languages still not working? Feel free to call this a new bug if you want, but it's probably best here?

Can you give steps for how you got that display? If I go to https://abstract.wikipedia.org/view/en/Q408 and then change the language to ja it switches to "オーストラリア":

Hmmm, that's all I did too. Nothing special. I'm on Chrome. I'll try on other browsers or logged out sometime.

I'm changing the language to Japanese in the "Generated text" box, not in the URL which is still "en":
