Hoi,
If there was only a number in it... There is however a text in the templates
in the language that is indicated, the text is RTL or LTR where applicable.
Anyway, I agree with you that such a high number of templates is not really
what we want. and consequently the Babel extension provides a really welcome
relief.
Thanks.
