The issue comes from the fact that UNIMARC is massively used by French 
libraries. So UNIMARC XSL are in French from the beginning (with few 
words in English).

There are two options:

   1. UNIMARC XSL are translated in authoritative templates (en) from
      French to English. And then, the standard translation process
      applies. You will have, as you said, to re-translate text
      extracted from en UNIMARC XSL and it won't be available before
      next 3.2.x release.
   2. UNIMARC XSL stays in French. And you translate from French to
      Italian just those text coming from XSL UNIMARC files.

I incline to prefer option 2 :-) I'm not sure so many libraries outside 
France will use UNIMARC in English or any other language.

If 1 is preferred, I can translate French UNIMARC XSL into English and 
submit a patch.
