> I have noticed that attribute names like in your demo are "Has component of", "Is product variant of", "Has description" e.g. long names using "Is", "Has". etc. What is the idea or requirement behind?

Help:Property naming should help to explain the idea of the naming convention and for a quick introduction to SMW, see Getting started.

> Do you recommend to use English for SMW or is there a way for multilanguage attributes?

It depends on your use case but in future we hope to support labels in different languages with work currently under way [0] which could look similar to [1].

I've just created Managing multilingual content to collect requirements and ideas on how to make this topic more actionable.
