Description

For some local wikis lang database ID and label database ID are not the same and bots adds label by fault with lang database ID.

for example:

lang code > label code
      "no":"nb",
      "als":"gsw",
      "fiu-vro":"vro",
      "bat-smg":"sgs",
      "be-x-old":"be-tarask",
      "roa-rup":"rup",
      "zh-classical":"lzh",
      "zh-min-nan":"nan",
      "zh-yue":"yue",
      "crh":"crh-latn"

For entering the labels with bots wikdtata should switch wrong prefix to correct one automatically.

I mean wikidata should switch automatically like the diff in below
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?diff=113510193

[Resetting priority - please avoid setting priority yourself]

This needs to be fixed in the bots that are entering the labels. The Wikibase software must not be aware of such details.
