I am going down the route of our Argentinian friend for a local-language site (i.e. in Italian), so same questions apply here too.
I was thinking about this issue, and to me seems to have two possible approaches:
1. To treat the templates entirely as user configuration, nobody will use them as bundled, because we all want to have our own look&feel. So, language will just be part of this config thing, and OG should only give different default templates for different languages. This doesn't solve any multi-language issues.
2. To separate look&feel from strings and some logic inside the templates. Look&feel would be config (css + structure), and the strings could be managed in two ways: language templates, defining variables (the templating system is *very* powerful); and using gettext (standard way, but more hacky to implement here)
Just my 2 pesos :-)
