Wikibase items
- What
- The languages names inside the RecordWizard are extracted from the labels of local language items, which are imported from Wikidata.
- How to edit
You could edit directly the local item of a language, but the best way to do it is to edit Wikidata. Once logged there, go to the corresponding item (you can find a link to it through our local items, inside the wikidata ID(P16) property, e.g. Q17#P16 for French). Edits there are imported on Lingua Libre once per day.
