I think you're mixing two very different matters. What needs to be
translated or adapted is the content, i.e. the *text*. And each
language should write their own text, because it's always better than
translation. On the other hand, there's the design and the layout,
which don't change across languages. Once the text is written, it
takes nothing to add it to an existing layout.
