Making several versions of each page for different languages could be OK 
if you're really presenting things differently for different languages, 
but if the application does exactly the same thing in every language 
(I'm thinking of something like Amazon.com), wouldn't it be a pain to 
have to change 7 pages just to change the layout on 1 page?  Wouldn't 
you worry that they'd get out of sync?  After all, the purpose of 
templates is to allow you to keep layout separate from content.
