Look good.
Use a template should help to restyle all other translations.
Just:
- use numbering for all levels of titles.
(Useful in hyper-links and very useful when we must say someone "read chapter X.Y.Z" )
- To explain use of icons, there is a number to locate the corresponding icon of the toolbar.
This is not easy, mainly for toolbar that have lot of icons like Eeschema or Pcbnew.
