I think the second would make a bit more sense to me.

Hm, not sure I remember. If the strings can be in an include or similar, we can
translate them.

I think that would probably be the best option for a language facet.

I think it is solvable especially when the options and descriptions you want to
have are somehow limited by the standard.

I always prefer template translation over using authorised values because the
latter are one language only currently.
