I don't have the time to help you with your specific problem, but I may be able to give you some hints. For example, your template has an interwiki link to the "Rijksmonument" template on the English Wikipedia, but this *should* be an interwiki link to the English translation of your Russian table row template. To help you I can show you what I did for the Belgian Wallonia lists. Belgium is tri-lingual (Dutch/German/French) so English seemed to be a logical place to put the lists where no one would object, since almost none of the lists are in all three languages, but are either in Dutch/French or Dutch/German or German/French. I made a Wallonia set of templates and starting translating the Dutch lists with Excel. I am no where near done so this is a work in progress, but you at least can follow what is happening on all language Wikipedias with the same data.

By the way, this is hand work. There is no way you can easily update and synchronize lists across all Wikipedias.

Here is a link to the English template for header:

Here is a link to the English template for row:

Unlike you, I had a structured list to begin with from the Dutch Wikipedia, and all I needed to do was add the English translation. With an excel macro, I first dumped the Dutch list into Excel and created an extra field for the English translation in the description parameter of the Table row template with this line:

Selection.Replace What:="descr_nl", Replacement:="descr_en=house|descr_nl"

I then translated the other fields as follows:

What:="adres", Replacement:="address"

What:="bouwjaar", Replacement:="date"

What:="deelgemeente", Replacement:="town"

What:="gemeente", Replacement:="section"

Since most of the monuments are houses, the default "house" is now already in there, but to get the complete Dutch descriptions translated, I first extracted the Dutch descriptions, numbered them, and dumped them by numbered line into Google translate. The result was fairly usable but needs editting line by line.

Then after I was done with the translations, I did a replace line by line with the replace formula:

=REPLACE(A5;65;5;VLOOKUP(B5;'rows nl-en'!A:B;2;FALSE))

Sorry if this is too technical, I know there are a lot of Excel users out there who can't read this because they have a native version with different commands, but at least it gives the gist.

I am sure you can easily do this with a Python script as well.

Hi Андрій,
just a few remarks from best practice, (I'm sure one of our technical
people will offer a more detailed approach here...)

I saw a bot converting with the help of regular expressions (if the
tables are in a more or less clear structure), but it's much easier to
convert from csv (Calc/Excel) files or from a database. Did you edit
them a lot after putting the lists into Wiki tables?

Some of them - yes, some of them - not yet. It's much easier to work with lists in a wiki-table form, they look more clear.

You should definitely add the most common of your Ukrainian parameters
to your template - parameters can be left empty if not needed, or filled
later. However it's much easier to put parameters in in the beginning
than adding them later.
Of course. Our parametres are next
| ID =  (special ID for WLM)
| назва = (name of the object)
| рік = (year of its creation)
| нас_пункт = (city or village)
| адреса = (adress)
| координати = (coordinates)
| охоронний номер = (official number)
| тип = (type of monument)
| фото = <br /> (photo)
| галерея = (link to commons gallery)
Difficulty is that lists which we receive from our goverment have differents structures. They don't have such parametres as coordinates or photo, but sometimes have additional parametres as author of a monument, it's height, protected area and so on. Using list-to-template transformation must be easy for standardizing lists.

I think the script must add names of parametres in such way:

|-
|

it transforme to
}}
{{WLM-рядок|

- first " || " it transformes to " |ID " =
- second " || " it transformes to "|назва ="
- third " || " it transformes "| рік ="

and so on...
I'll be in the Ukraine on vacation from mid-July, if I can be of any
help (other than taking images of remote monuments ;-)), just tell me.
OK, welcome! If you'll attend after wikimania we could organize a wikimeetup.
