Hi Mauro

I am not sure to get what you mean in terms of actions but I think you are 
referring to the "empty" files I added in the Italian translations. I added 
those files to avoid broken links; the alternative would have been to not 
write those links or to point directly to the main document, but in both 
cases it easy to forget to update them later.
I chose to have links to "empty" files so that the document does 
not need to be updated later.

If you are not referring to those files than I am not understanding, can you 
point to a clear example?
