I can add it, if you think it makes easier the life of developers.

You're right, it does not show up there (I don't know why), but it is 
written in the documentation to check the "Show all project templates" 
option.

Kommander dialog should run in the translated language if the 
translation is available. Can you test if this is editor specific, or 
happens also in the executor?
