I think, the use of string-variables on top of each jsp-file / template-file
would make translations of templates into other languages much more easier.

This an example on how to use variable for making translations of template-files easier.
The sample used the default LeftMenu.jsp file.

eg: the former string "No LeftMenu!" was replaced by "<%= langNoLeftMenu %>".
The result will be "Es wurde noch kein Menü erstellt".
