Initially, Sympa only had NLS, later we introduced templates for web needs.
We then turned command results into templates (we hope it is completed soon), 
to ease translation and customization. 

NLS's advantage is that we can reuse translations in different contexts.

Templates make it possible for sites to customize web/messages ; it is
also more user-friendly to translate.

We still need NLS though at least for :
        * edit_list parameter and template title translations
        * charset and language names

We first need to extend reject() though :

Currently reject() takes a template name as an argument.
Therefore we'll need to have as many templates as reasons
why a message is rejected.
We'd prefer to have a single template and we need another parameter to
reject().
Example :
  the scenario :
        equal([msg_header->X-Spam],1) smtp,md5,smime -> 
reject('msg_rejection', spam)

  the msg_rejection.tpl :
        Your message has been rejected for the following reason :
        [IF spam]
          it has been recognised as SPAM            
        [ELSE]
          you are not a subscriber
        [ENDIF]
