i18n Infobox property translations

[tanvibhakta]

The field names of all Hindi pages that have infoboxes are being returned in English. The Hindi Wikipedia, as well as the official REST API, have these field names written in Hindi.

This is a link to the official page:

ah, yeah the templates are keyed in english - which seems like a gross oversight by wikipedia.

They must have a mapping for each language somewhere in the parsoid project, or maybe elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find it.

here's the wikiscript, for reference - we're simply grabbing whatever it has right now.

Even in english, the presentation of infoboxes are rendered in ad-hoc ways. I think it probably should be handled in a secondary library - like wtf-infobox-render or something, as I imagine it's quite complicated.

yeah, it's not as simple as I had hoped, the templates get copy+pasted, and the translations are holed-up like this:

 |data7     = {{{mission_duration<includeonly>|</includeonly>}}}
 |label8    = मापी गयी दूरी

Every language will have a different solution for each template.
I don't see an easy multilingual fix. Open to ideas
