Uh? This patch add templates and we are now in the string freeze
process. In string freeze process, one of the things translators hate
is seeing their language being dropped at 99% while it was at 100%.

Most translators will consider their work done when their language
will reach 100% and will maybe leave or maybe give less attention to
changes. So, commiting this now is a bit hard for them.
