According to the HTML5 spec, “If the alternate keyword is used with the
hreflang attribute, and that attribute's value differs from the root element's
language, it indicates that the referenced document is a translation.” So like
I said, rel=alternate is for alternate translations of a document in, e.g.,
Wikisource, but not for different documents, e.g., different-language Wikipedia
articles.

That Google note is confusing, and I think you are reading “is for sites that
have only their template translated” as “is *only* for sites that have only
their template translated.” It is about one scenario, and doesn't exclude
others.
