• Could you insert a statement about the language of the article as well? Currently these brackets are the indication that the articles aren't written in English.

  • Not sure where this information would be available? @Daniel Mietchen:, any idea? − Pintoch (talk) 11:16, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
  • We discussed it at Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions/Bot/maria_research_bot.

    • I have not checked the discussion shared by Jura, but checking the PubMed identifiers of some scientific articles I found below the title "[Article in...]", let me give you examples: Diagnosis of para-influenza infection and the state of humoral immunity to para-influenza virus in children (Q40323731), "[Article in Russian]"; Retinal detachment and argon laser prophylactic treatment (author's transl) (Q33211252), "[Article in French]". Could not that information be automatically extracted from the PubMed identifier? I mean in this case at least, I couldn't check many other cases, but most of them are from PubMed.

    • I checked the above discussion, which does not contain a pointer to how to get this information from PubMed. I also checked the documentation, where they mention a 'LANG' filter, which may indeed do the trick. Otherwise, we may have to scrape that from the HTML, where they provide a

      <div class="lang"> [Article in XYZ]</div>

      tag. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 07:29, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
    • Well, as mentioned in the discussion, we know that it's not English. In any case, this can be cast into a structured statement.
