But I cannot localize this title. I will see my (english) title even
when i have other language turned on. Do you see ?

Yes.

No, you may not understand. The mail templates have to set its own
Content-Type, especially charset as it is in the welcome.tpl and
others.

Yes the cookie is ideal place to keep the preference. Once the user is
logged on, the language is taken from his settings. We can combide
both methods: At the start choose the preffered language and then let
the user choose the language.

Yes that's right. But, the is_moderated returns true even if the list
of editors is empty! so I can see the text Moderators but nothing
follows it.
