Well, you can only have one about box for one language. This means that you cna create multiple copies of yoru about box with different ids to display a different box for different languages but that's it (exactly like for the preferences window).
The reason for the child templates is to make it easier for you: much less restrictions like that and you let Plus! take care of the details. This way, you avoid a lot of possible errors.
