   Or perhaps as an example set of files (all of the current empty
language specific template directories may end up being unneeded, btw),
then those are copied to the ledgersmb /var/lib/ledgersmb/template
directory as part of an initial install?

   The default template files can also be selected for editing.  If a
language specific template file for a particular template is available,
then that can be edited.  Possible changes that are being looked at:
automatic creation of a language specific file for editing from the
default file if the language specific file is not already present, and
possibly creation of the language specific directory if that is not
already present.

   That appears to be fixed, although there are still several default
versions of template files that have a naming issue in the
application...

   With LedgerSMB; users have to have the correct permissions enabled in
order to be able to edit any templates, but the templates appear to be
otherwise available application wide.
