Hi, See items #10 and #11 at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:FAQ#Editing for the answer to why we still occasionally need language links within articles (outside wikidata). I'm not sure what possible long-term solutions have been discussed. There might also be additional reasons (that I've forgotten or don't know about). Hope that helps. --quiddity
