What do you do when you have a template name which translates to one term in
one language, and another term in another language (like "hall" or "vice",
to choose the first tenuous examples I can think of)?? The {{int: hack is
precisely that, a horrible hack which plays havoc with caching and only just
about works enough to continue to be allowed. A proper solution to this
area will deal with these issues in a clean and sensible way, rather than
continuing to use and abuse existing technology.
