the problem is not black and white, things can match in wikipedia, partially. 
And several wikipedia articles can match to the same wikidata object (which 
then will be more or less duplicated, because every article has a wikidata 
object). That’s what I tried to say: there is various overlap, and it can be 
different in different languages. Unless articles are translations, it is clear 
that they will likely have different coverage / breadth in different languages. 
I am reading a lot of wikipedia in three languages, and inter language is often 
not matching nicely or has different coverage and structure, but isn’t easy to 
fix either. You may not notice if you only follow the language links, but 
you’ll see when you do a search for the same topics in the other language and 
find similar pages.
