Unfortunately this is exactly true.  See dsa-050.data for example:

<define-tag pagetitle>DSA-050-1 sendfile</define-tag>
<define-tag report_date>2001-4-20</define-tag>
<define-tag packages>sendfile</define-tag>
<define-tag isvulnerable>yes</define-tag>                 <-------- to be translated
<define-tag fixed>yes</define-tag>                        <-------- to be translated

If it will always be yes/no, we could make it use <yes> and <no>
and translate these tags.

Highly appreciated.  Not having touched the security pages before
I thought it was already hadled that way.
