The intention was to allow this template to be edited directly... and the
assumption was if someone wanted it translated, they would supply a translated
template. I didn't think of the case where a user might want to support
multiple languages with a single built simple-cdd image.

I guess we could provide the infrastructure to translate the default template,
and if they want to edit the template they lose translations, or ideally
include a mechanism to supply a customized template and .po file as well...
