Flood gate

Sorry but i fail with the Forums so this is the only place for me.

The translation for the flood gate is in German "Schleusentor" this is misleading and a word for word translation.

See the Duden please:
http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Schleusentor
and a pic

Please change in "Bereichfluter" or "Fluter"

The issue is, "Fluter" is not really a word that makes sense in this context. The correct translation for "Flood Gate" is "Schleusentor", even if it doesn't make much sense. I am unable to find a better translation, unfortunately.

Nevermind
If you not speak native german and if you have no technical education in german you can not understand.
Thank you you can close this

​I know, I'm a bit late, but I am a German.

"Schleusentor" is in any case the worng word.
"Fluter" is a word creation for "fluten" (verb).
How about "Auslass" Duden.
It would fit the usage of the "flood gate".

"Auslass" is quite a decent word, I guess. I'll change it. Thanks a bunch.
