Bart,

Have you settled on this?

I'd like to launch the translation update round but, of course, I need
to be sure about the final wording of templates.

I gave you my arguments for the wording that is used, but the last
word on this is up to you, maintainer, of course.

I just need a final agreed version of templates so that there is no
bad surprise for translators....
