Couple of side notes. A template is bound to be uniq based on
name,page,section
and language. At some point updating the template tool for this would be
a
good idea, but hardly a big need at the moment.

In users_prefs there is also a column for lang. Bother templates and
users
default to en_US. 

It would be a good idea at some point to drop into code_param a full
list
of all locale for someone to use to generate a list of possible
locales.
