+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 in this folder; nothing else
+is required.
+
+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.
