A visual interface for understanding and improving multilingual property development on Wikidata
Every Wikidata property carries three critical pieces of information that need translation: labels, descriptions, and aliases. A property may have none, some, or all of these in any given language — making it challenging to track progress across hundreds of languages.
WDProp queries the Wikidata Query Service in real time to surface live statistics, identify gaps, and guide contributors toward the properties and languages that need attention most.
