Wiki translation tool doesn't transfer infobow

Starting this morning, when I tried to translate some company pages like Koch Media or Starbreeze Studios from English to Turkish, It didn't load infoboxes. That didn't occur yesterday.

Thanks for the feedback, @Meka33.

Infoboxes are a particular type of template. Although they may seem similar in the surface, there are many types so it is possible that some are supported and others are not.

Templates are independently defined in each wiki. Thus, Content Translation has to find the equivalent templates in Wikidata, figure out the corresponding parameters based on the template metadata (Şablon belgelemesini düzenle) to copy the information over and add those in the equivalent position of the translated paragraph.

In this case, for the Infobox company template the problem seems to be that the template is not shown in the source article in Content Translaiton. The tool skips some administrative templates, but this one is expected to be shown. I created a ticket to capture the issue and investigate further.


Thanks.!
