Translations:Global templates/Proposed specification/52/en

How the templates are delivered to the target wikis is a question of internal engineering and architecture, as long as the other requirements are addressed. These questions were discussed in the past by some people, among them Kunal Mehta (in the “Shadow namespace” project), Greg Grossmeier, Brion Vibber, Tim Starling, and others. This document tries to address related questions of how it works for the user who edits an article that uses a template, or who maintains the template itself—how to write it in a localizable way; how is it translated; how is it locally customized; etc. These questions weren’t addressed sufficiently in the previous architectural discussions on the topic.
