Yes: the occasional translators don't need to translate them (well, when
they need, they'll be instructed by somebody else); the regular translators
should know how to start a "New Translation", and that page now has
a reference to optional templates.

I don't think they are aware there are such things as optional templates
or any templates at all; the .note class is orthogonal to using SSIs,
and it wouldn't help maintain the same text that should show up in many
places.
