Wikipedia/Wikidata has an excellent approach with
* Wikipedia supporting more languages
* [[ https://sv.wikipedia.org/ | sv:Wikipedia ]] - swedish
* [[ https://se.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port%C3%A1la:Ovdasiidu | se:Wkipedia ]] - sami
* [[ https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9 | ar:Wikipedia ]] - arabic
* ..... [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias | list of languages ]] = 294 active
* linked data (metadata) in [[ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Huvudsida | Wikidata ]] with support for > [[ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Wikimedia_language_codes/lists/all | 300 languages ]]
* templates to display Wikidata data in a Wikipedia article --> easy scaling if the data is in WIkidata to at least get something in 300 languages
As Karen Smith-Yoshimura, OCLC states at SWIBL Semantic Web in Libraries [[ https://youtu.be/K0l4fv5uUvg?t=1962 | video ]] one of the biggest possibilities with linked data is that we in todays community could start deliver information in the **preferred language** people speak. In Sweden we now have a lot of SILOS and my understanding is that the second biggest language is Arabic and we nearly never find information in Sweden on Arabic.... maybe Wikipedia can help,,,,
**Queries:**
* people in Wikidata with [[ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1214 | Propety 1214 "Riksdagsledamot ID" ]] more than 1 Wikipedia article [[ https://w.wiki/ACQ | bubble chart ]]/[[ https://w.wiki/ACL | list ]] 780 persons
* [[ https://w.wiki/ADF | list all with an article ]] - 1565
* [[ https://w.wiki/APi | list with no Wikipedia article ]] - 130
* sv:Wikipedia list last election "[[ https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_%C3%B6ver_ledam%C3%B6ter_av_Sveriges_riksdag_2018%E2%80%932022 | Lista över ledamöter av Sveriges riksdag 2018–2022 ]]"
{F30758425,width=700}
{F30758440}
* Find number of languages those persons with Property 1214 are represented in [[ https://w.wiki/ACT | bubble ]]/[[ https://w.wiki/ACU | list ]] --> swedish = 1562, english 694, polish 228.... arabic 118

==Confused thoughts
# can this be used ?
# what is missing ?
# can we also get others involved in this process as SOFI who is caring about minority languages in Sweden {T232919}
# can this be used for concepts/document types like "motioner" Wikidata [[ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q452237#sitelinks-wikipedia | Q452237 ]]
# my thought is if we create a "stub" article with a template in a language it will be easier for people speaking the language to add more value to the article

cc: @Susannaanas thoughts about a small test and maybe Sami language with a template and some Swedish government candidates.....
