[Data-modeling] Languages and Rosetta

What's the deal with the Rosetta base and bot?  Is this intended to
replace the current Language commons?

They/it/whatever appear to have taken a more rigorous and regular
approach than the Freebase's existing combination Wikipedia article
plus typing by "I always wanted to play a linguist on the Web" users
(like me), which is good, but there also appears to be an awful lot of
duplication, which is bad.  I've flagged a few things for merger, but
now I've come across something that I can't even flag
http://www.freebase.com/view/base/rosetta/group/Chinese (because of
permissions perhaps?)

Should I just leave this stuff for some type global
reconciliation/cleanup later?  Which types/topics/schemas should we be
using in modeling stuff that needs languages?
