Yes, it makes sense. I thought about it and got to the same conclusion 
as you.

I would title the chapter "Les modèles (templates)" with "templates" in 
italic, or "Les modèles et le mot clé template" with "template" in a 
monospace font.

keywords are not translated and are writen in a monospace font (or 
whatever style dedicated for writing code) and concepts, ideas, topic or 
whatever, get translated.
