-> Looks like, tmpl_process3 cannot preserve line breaks in template files.
-> For example, it processed the following template:

+Another way to approach this would be to write a small program that outputs
+the current set of templates. Now i18n of that program is trivial,
+and it can be run once per language to generate localized templates.
+
+Then it's just a matter of installing the templates somewhere, and having
+them be used when a different language is enabled.
+
+It would make sense to make the existing `locale` setting control which
+templates are used. But the [[plugins/po]] plugin would probably want to do
+something more, and use the actual language the page is written in.
