Usage

This template enables data on dams and reservoirs imported from German Wikipedia (using de:Vorlage:Infobox Stausee) to be translated and displayed in English Wikipedia using Template:Infobox dam. This saves the enormous amount of work otherwise entailed in translating parameters and data into en.wiki templates. Some of this translation involves technical terms that may not be obvious to some translators. The template is normally substituted by a bot within hours.

The template will assist the importation and translation of hundreds of articles mainly, but not only, on German, Austrian and Swiss dams and reservoirs.

When translating an article from German Wikipedia, just import the infobox and translate any free text. It is worth previewing the result first as data in several parameters will be automatically translated if recognised; otherwise it defaults to the entered text. This feature is being enhanced continually. Blank parameters are ignored.
