I also think that it should be the same structure in all languages. I  
don't see much point in each language going astray depending on the  
mood/resources of its participants - for that there's the puredatainfo  
already.

But while checking the infobox template, I saw that those extra fields  
were already programmed, that's why I asked if they should be added to the  
template. In that case, I would suggest to remove those fields from the  
infobox structure for now - new fields can be added at any time, after  
they've been "approved".
