Like almost everything else about natural languages, translation is a
fascinating topic.
I completely agree :-)
Like you, I tried to use all Turkish words. I consulted many online
programming dictionaries, asked individual words at Turkish forums,
imported from other languages (e.g. "temsilci" for "delegate" from the
C# world). The Turkish chapters have an adapted mini dictionary on the
left-hand side that contains the English originals of the translations.
Here is the template chapter:

That was one of the funnier translations to Turkish: In order to avoid
the foreign word "template", I used another foreign word which comes
from another context (architectural drawing tools), "şablon", partly
because it is already in use in the C++ world. I would have guessed that
it was the transliteration of French "chablon" but "chablon" seems to be
a dead word as I can't find it on online dictionaries. :) Google
Translate translates it as "şablon" to Turkish but that's it. Anyway...
I didn't know this word. My dictionary ("Le Petit Larousse 2006") only
says that is a Swiss word for "pochoir", which is a "stencil", which
indeed can be considered as a template.
online Larousse gives another definition of the word: "un chablon" is a
partially assembled movement (clockwork)

Yup, that and many others... Fascinating topic... :)
Natural languages, translation and teaching are fascinating topic :-)
