Hi all,
looking into [1] I read that Wikidata supports 358 languages. Is it still true? For example, I tried to add label in language coded as "nan" (defined in ISO 639-3) and it worked. However it didn't worked for e.g. "arb", which is also part of the ISO 639-3 standard. So how many?[1] VRANDEČIĆ, Denny, KRÖTZSCH, Markus. Wikidata: A Free Collaborative Knowledgebase.

Hi Jan and Wikidatans,
That sounds about right.
I think the possible number of Wikidata languages (and inter-lingual developments) will emerge as these two projects develop a little further -
RFC: Per-language URLs for multilingual wiki pages -
RFC: make Parser::getTargetLanguage aware of multilingual wikis -
which I just learned yesterday in the #wikimedia-office hour at 2pm PT (on Wednesdays).
CC World University and School, which is like CC Wikipedia with CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC (and planning online free best STEM CC OCW accrediting university degrees in ~204 countries' main and official languages) is seeking additionally to develop wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,943+ languages building in CC Wikidata/Wikibase, if possible - as well as for an universal translator. How easy ahead will it be to simply "populate" a list of all 8K languages in Wikidata/Wikibase for various artificial intelligence, machine learning and machine translation developments?
Best,
Scott

<cscott> so in the unconference spirit the session got redirected to match what people actually wanted
<Scott_WUaS> (gwicke: can you please share some URLs that currently focus "multi-lingual content should interact with caching & parsing"?)
<gwicke> it's not specifically targeted at i18n currently
<cscott> Scott_WUaS: that's daniel's RFCs
<cscott> Scott_WUaS: T114662 and T114640
<stashbot> T114662: RFC: Per-language URLs for multilingual wiki pages - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114662
<stashbot> T114640: RFC: make Parser::getTargetLanguage aware of multilingual wikis - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114640
<cscott> gwicke has commented on both of those, i believe, bringing up the caching issue
<Scott_WUaS> Thnx:)
