Story

As a developer, I do not want to manually maintain a list of keys from the config.ts for dictionaries that should be localized.

Description

The config.ts holds -- amongst others -- mappings from code-internal keys to translation keys, which are needed for proper localization in loops in the HBS templates.
For performance reasons (I think), the translation keys are currently in-place replaced by their actual translation strings during init in the ds4.ts. However, the members of the config.ts CONFIG object that are such a key-to-translation-key mapping must for now be manually recorded in the ds4.ts for this to work.
This is slightly inconvenient for maintenance, and it is not clear whether the in-place override of values can cause issues sometimes (e.g. when changing language).
Thus, it would be good to avoid the manual recording and the in-place override.

This should best be done before #54.

Acceptance criteria

No manual recording of the translation mappings from the CONFIG object necessary in the ds4.ts. Instead, placing new mappings correctly in the CONFIG object does the trick.
No values in the CONFIG object are overridden.
Any changes to the API of the translation mappings in the config are adapted in all templates.
