Creating a multi-language template
You can design a template with the language of your choice,
translate a template from one language to another, or use an existing
template that contain multiple languages to design a new template.
You can edit the templates in different languages. The translation
tool helps you to adapt a template to your language. You can view
these templates in different languages using the IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine Launcher.

of the templates are not reused, only the language names so that you
can select from them upon opening a template.
