That idea would be nice for translations. Today, I fetch events.html and
new-software.html from time to time and translate to Portuguese. For
new-software, a translated template would be enough and I'd be free from
one task. But for events I'd still have to transate the generated HTML
file, unless sometone create a mecanism by which I can translate the
source for this information.
