separating language independent data from the .wml files
A better example of moving the language independent portion
of the pages into a separate file has been created using the
y2k pages. The .wml files in the y2k directory are translated
as usual, but they include ../../english/y2k/file.data which
includes the actual y2k status information.
The only thing needed besides translating the .wml file as
usual, is that slices for the status keywords used in the table
need to be added to the .data file (only once, of course).
After a language switches to the new format, all updates
to the y2k information will be seen by all translations
automatically and with no action needed on the part of
the translators. Of course, that is not true if one of the
.wml files is modified.
