[SeasonOfDocs] TheGoodDocsProject: Multiple language templates

[Clarence Cromwell]

My company’s strategy is to set up repos so everything is in the English language sub-directory and other languages can be added alongside it later. 

Instead of /src to hold the source files we start with /src/en. Even if translation is not expected.

It’s not the only way, but it’s one way to leave space for future expansion to other languages.

Apart from this, I think we should use well-defined terms in our templates so that it's easier for non-native English speakers and for translations to be written.
