Well, that may depend on the context but, as I wrote eyou privately:
If the template is brand new, you have two choices:
- ask for a review in -boot
- if hardly needed for a new upload fixing something you want to fix
quickly, temporarily mark it as non translatable, upload and ask for
a review
If the template is an old one which you modify, it wouldn't be wise to
mark it as non translatable because that would risk losing the former
translations at next l10n-sync. In such case, we could imagine to first
*copy* the old template temporarily without modifying it *and* modify
the template while unmarking it for translations.
That would preserve former translations and leave time for
reviews. Then, once reviewed, the new template is marked for
translation, we run l10n-sync once so that the translation from the
old template go to the new one (by fuzzy matching), then we remove the
useless old one.
I hope this is clear enough..harder to explain than imagine, indeed....

Why not replace ${SPEED} by "automatic" or something similar in such
case?
That would allow something like:
ILO is configured to use serial port ${PORT} (speed: ${PORT_SPEED})
as the console.

Hmm, well, if that's old stuff, then let us leave it there.....
