Languages order preference #5826

Description

Some screens show labels (and depictions) of Wikidata items. If the Wikidata item does not have a label, the app picks a label in any other language.

Often, the app shows a label in a language I can't read (Turkish in the screenshot below) even though the Wikidata item has a label in a language I can read (such as Spanish):

It would be great if the settings let me choose not just one language (such as French in the screenshot below), but several languages with an order, for instance French,Spanish,Italian,English.

The UI could look like the Android OS language setting, but any better UI is welcome:

The setting would modify the SPARQL queries sent by the app (don't worry if you don't know SPARQL, I can help with the SPARQL part).

# Get the label in the preferred language of the user, or any other language if no label is available in that language.
