Also the syntax error ", that" is a typical German error. In German, you must 
have a "grammatical comma" between the principal and the subordinate 
propositions. In other languages, it's usually illegal.

It should be :
	Please select a template that matches the CSV file
(no comma)

Can some netive English speaker confirm (or infirm) what I'm saying ? I do not 
feel authorized to give English grammar lessons ;-).

I'm sure that if you search for ", that" in the templates, one can find a half 
zillion of them :
	grep -r ", that" kde-i18n/templates/

Note : It seems to me that you can have commas in English in certain cases :

	A lion is a mammal that is very dangerous
(no comma)
	I have entered its cage, which was very dangerous
(a comma)
