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.

Internationalization

This file is internationalized the same way as share/filters/filters/svg

The i18n.py script called from the makefile will extract strings from the *.svg

into a *.svg.h file. Intltool is then able to extracts these strings just like

from normal .h files.
