Created attachment 15812 [details] Visual example of the issue A given entity has a different name in different languages. This means that is is also spoken differently. Current behaviour: Currently it is only possible to have a global IPA annotation per entity as a Statement (Property:P898), rather than one IPA annotation per language/translation. Expected behaviour: IPA annotations must be possible on the title in a given language, as well in the tags in the "Also known as:" section. Therefore, any way of speaking a given entity can be annotated properly.
You can add several statements and add a qualifier with the language it applies to. Or you can wait for the multilingual text datatype which will allow adding/showing the same text in several languages.
