I think we can focus on the problem to solve (i.e. templates not being
translatable) and then have the discussion about 35716, as it has a broader
impact on the project. But I fully understand where you are coming from.

I'll try to improve 39031 and then use it on this bug for moving the templates.

I agree this could be discussed on some other bug, as Katrin said.
