Elements like "empty", "optional", "required" should be translatable. Ideally, parameter types should also be translatable, if only for display if it isn't possible to localize them in the JSON itself.

Making this translatable is a new feature to develop, hence resetting severity to "enhancement".
I think comment #1 is about a different, and possibly more serious issue.
What I asked initially was the ability to translate interface items that are currently hardcoded in English.
What Eran Roz is reporting is the difficulty of writing TemplateData code on RTL wikis, which sounds like a bigger problem, and not just an 'enhancement'.
Eran, you should probably create a separate bug about this issues.

Maybe bug 50169 helps with that?
Guillaume Paumier, Thanks for explanation. I created a different bug for it: bug 50436.
Helder, bug 50169 may help with it, and I mentioned it in the bug description.
