When querying a Wikibase dataset with SPARQL, the results may sometimes display <b>identifiers</b> (e.g. <code>Q102</code>) instead of explicit text (e.g. <code>Anderlecht</code>). To make the results more readable, you can retrieve the <b>labels</b> (i.e., names) in the language of your choice (French, Dutch, German, or English).
Simply use <code>SERVICE wikibase:label</code> at the end of your query to display values in your preferred language.
