Rosetta will allow that, yes, but we don't support that directly so the
user can be a bit confused about that (we got already some complains
about OO.org using that).

We will try to figure a way to support that, but in the mean time, the
user will see the raw string.

Rosetta was not thought to manage more tha 5-10 templates per context.
Here we are talking about a huge amout of them around 150, perhaps
more... That's not good for the user and any UI to handle that would be
too complex.
