It sounds strange to translate a keyword. If I put it like this, 
it would be ok to translate a keyword when talking about it like 
a topic, i.e. a chapter called "Templates" (Modèle). But when 
referring to the actual keyword, what one need to write in the 
code, it seems wrong to translate it. So if you would write 
something like this:

Templates are ... and the keyword used is "template".

The first "template" would be translate but not the second. Does 
that make sense.
