Just a thought. Isn't it possible to implement layout (structure) and text in separate templates? One template defines layout and blocks, another one extends the former and populates blocks with translated text and/or proper i18n tags. The idea is to have several "translation" templates, which extend one "layout" template. I know it is a verbose approach, but it doesn't break anything, and doesn't go against DRY.
