'Templates'
'Template' images also appear in the 'New' dialog, along with solid
color background choices and 'Starters'. (Note: Tux Paint prior to
version 0.9.22 did not have the 'Template' feature.)
Unlike pictures drawn in Tux Paint by users and then opened later,
opening a 'template' creates a new drawing. When you save, the
'template' image is not overwritten. Unlike 'starters', there is no
immutable 'layer' above the canvas. You may draw over any part of it.
When the 'Eraser' tool is used on a picture based on a 'template',
rather than turning the canvas to a solid color, such as white, it
returns that part of the canvas to the original picture from the
'template'.
'Templates' are simply image files (in PNG, JPG, SVG or KPX format). No
preparation or conversion should be required.
The 'template' images should be the same size as Tux Paint's canvas.
(See the "Loading Other Pictures into Tux Paint" section of README for
details on sizing.) If they are not, they will be stretched, without
affecting the shape ("aspect ratio"); however some smudging may be
applied to the edges.
Place them in the "templates" directory. When the 'New' dialog is
accessed in Tux Paint, the 'template' images will appear in the screen
that appears, after the various solid color choices and 'starters'.
Note: 'Templates' can't be saved over from within Tux Paint, since
loading a 'template' is really like creating a new image. (Instead of
being blank, though there's already something there to work with.) The
'Save' command simply creates a new picture, like it would if the 'New'
command had been used.
Note: 'Templates' are 'attached' to saved pictures, via a small text
file that has the same name as the saved file, but with ".dat" as the
extension. This allows the background to continue to be available to the
drawing (e.g., when using the 'Eraser' tool) even after Tux Paint has
been quit, or another picture loaded or started. (In other words, if you
base a drawing on a 'template' image, it will always be affected by it.)

Translations
Tux Paint supports numerous languages, thanks to use of the "gettext"
