When it come to translation, I have to pull my secret card, my
friend Pierre :

He is geek enough to know some programming basics (he for
instance extracted the 3 10 letters words that exist in french
that give as much different letters as possible in preparation of
the show) and as you can see, have probably more vocabulary than
all of us combined (he happen to be a scrabble champion).

I'll ask him and see what he think.

template is french friendly enough to keep. "modèle" is kind of
confusing. Slice is a difficult one. Tranche is probably the best
I can think of now, but I don't think slice have any direct
translation in french.
