[rt-users] Translate outgoing templates

[Ruslan Zakirov]

Hello Boris,

Do you really need both languages? Just translate it in the UI.

The problem with multi-language templates is that it's hard to guess
user's language and each email may have multiple recipients with
different languages, but RT generates email from template only once.

All this can be improved, but I saw only one system where it can be
used. Company supports users in many countries, but even then it is
easier for them to make several queues: support_en, support_xx... A
supporter knows usually two languages when they have almost ten langs
to support, so they just hide queues per supporters groups. As well,
in this case they just have global scrips and in each queue they have
templates with matching names and translated content.

Those columns you mention are in the DB for a while, but have never been used.
