Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation.

It freezes up in November and stays icebound until May. There are many islands on the lake. Leksozero is used for fishery.
