Language setting and item labels

[Former user]

• The item popup window uses in its title only English labels, not a label in the language of the user setting.
• When the English label is missing, the item popup window displays the Q-identification number in duplicate, instead of the label. It should display rather a label in some another language. If a label exists in multiple non-English languages, a language selection algorithm can be devised: it would be best to prefer the main local language, or sort languages by relevance, but even if the language selection is completely random, it is always better than showing no label.World complation in the Wikidata interface already handle these functions, is it not possible to implement them here?
• The map displays only English Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia language version choice is not available, and is not defaultly adjusted to the user language setting.

Show the pop-up window in the language setting of the viewer would be super. If this language is not available, then in English.
This would help to name the images in several languages. This increases the user-friendliness considerably.
High priority for me.

For all with the same problem.
You need to actively turn on the language in the upper right corner.
So switch between 2 languages. Works.

DE EN RU

Unfortunately, the program's behavior continues to be non-standard and strange. When I come to WikiShootMe from an external link, the page looks like it remembers my settings (Czech language seems to be set), but in reality it completely ignores Czech labels and Czech articles. I have to change the settings to another language and then back to Czech again so that Czech is actually set.

Some of languages are mutually alternated if the label is missing in the set language, but other languages are completely ignored. From the 29 languages, only several (eg. en, de, nl, ru?) are fully supported, while some others seem to be supported only partly and ignored for alternation. For example, when I have Czech language set, the map will show me an English, German or Dutch label if the Czech one is missing. However, if English is set (or the non-working initial setting of Czech), Czech labels are completely ignored, even when the Czech label in the only one existing for the item.

I.e. two serious bugs:

• non-functional (and incorrectly hinted) default language setting
• non-functional label alternation for some languages

Next time less irony, more checking and testing.
