Description Sorawee Porncharoenwase 2014-02-27 20:34:55 UTC 
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=langlinks&titles=Main%20Page

returns something like

        <langlinks>
          <ll lang="ar" xml:space="preserve" />
          <ll lang="bg" xml:space="preserve" />
          <ll lang="ca" xml:space="preserve" />

It should be <ll lang="ar" xml:space="preserve">blah blah</ll>

This happens with every wikipedia.
Comment 1 Brad Jorsch 2014-02-27 20:46:21 UTC 
All the langlinks on enwiki's main page have no title specified, since an interwiki link with no title specified happens to link to that wiki's main page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Main_Page_interwikis&action=edit#.

The API result merely reflects this situation. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIGO for details.
