I'm filing a bug in response to a post on the English Village Pump (technical): ---- The problen arised in [[Hebrew Wikipedia]], but they couldn't answer, so I am trying here. I was editing [[:he:בוש]], which conesponds to [[Bush]], but also [[Bosh]], [[Bausch]] etc. due to the nature of [[Hebrew]]. If I add (in Hebrew Wiki) [[:en:Bush]] and [[:en:Bosh]], I will get twice "English", on the sidebar. Is there a way to get a different result (such as "English-Bosh" , "English-Bush")? The question is probably also relevent for [[Arabic]] and similar languages. Thanks, [[User:DGtal|DGtal]] 17:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC) ---- Perhaps it would be nice to add support for custom interlanguage link text, such as [[en:Bush|English (Bush)]]? This might not be appropriate on Wikipedia, but it could be handy for others downloading Mediawiki. The only related bug I could find was #5231.

Currently the request doesn't make sense for Wikipedia, because with Wikidata the second interlanguage link is ignored, see bug 43671. This bug was meant mainly for non-Wikipedia or even non-Wikimedia wikis but I'm not sure of the use case validity here...
