Seems clear to me. The template file has "some text." JT wants to create new files, replacing "some text" for each of the new files. I don't see (immediately) how it might be done with a search and replace or factory. If it were a web page, I would use PHP and assign the "some text" language designator to a variable. A base file would set the variable so each reader would get the language of choice. A small program in perl could do much the same thing for a static file by repeatedly opening the template file, filling in the variable from an array and writing the file back out to a new file.
