Hmmm, that's true, of course. Perhaps don't fill the templates with language specific content and just name them differently dependent on the language? Just like this: "Python-Skript.py" (de), "Python Script.py" (en), ...: -- Content -- #!/usr/bin/env python -- EOF -- "HMTL-Dokument" (de), "HTML Document" (en), ...: -- Content -- <!DOCTYPE ...> <html> <head> <title></title> ... </head> <body> </body> </html> -- EOF -- Okay, there probably are templates where translated content makes sense or even is necessary.
