 This folder contains the templates for new documents created in
-Inkscape. You will normally see them listed in the File > New
-submenu. A template may store any document-specific settings (such as
-initial zoom and view, paper size, background and borders, metadata,
-window geometry, grid and guide settings, export hints) as well as any
-objects. To add a new template, simply save or copy it to this folder;
-nothing else is required.

-Internationalization:
+## Default template ##
 
-Files of the mask default.*.svg are the translations of default.svg
-template into different languages. The default.svg itself is in
-English. These translations contain a translated name of the default
-layer and possibly different canvas size. Each language version of
-Inkscape will only use one of these templates and ignore the rest.
-
-The other files are internationalized the same way as
-share/filters/filters/svg The i18n.py script called from the makefile
-will extract strings from the *.svg files into a *.svg.h
-file. Intltool is then able to extracts these strings just like from
-normal .h files.
-
-The internationalized default files (A4 only) are created using the
-PERL script "create_defaults.pl" (called automatically by cmake) 
-and are based on default.svg. To add a new language, add it to the 
-database at the beginning of the PERL script.
+At startup or when creating a new document, Inkscape will load the
+default template, which is named "default.svg". A localized version in
+the current locale (default.*.svg) will be preferred over the English
+version if available. To customize the default template simply use
+"File > Save Template" and make sure to enable "Set as default
+template". Alternatively you can manually edit the files in this
+folder or (preferred option) save or copy them to the corresponding
+"templates" directory in your profile directory. Default templates in
+the profile directory will always be preferred over the stock versions
+that ship with Inkscape (i.e. the files in this folder).
