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".
