This template, Template:Infobox Pass, is designed to support articles on German, Austrian and Swiss mountain passes that have been translated from German Wikipedia. It works by shimming most of the German parameters into those used by Template:Infobox mountain pass, such that all parameters are automatically translated, along with many of the standard data entries. This massively reduces the workload for translators and facilitates the rapid transfer of tabular information from German Wikipedia.
In due course the infoboxes in the individual articles may be substituted by any editor without requiring any knowledge of the German language.
