Comment (by swissspidy):

 @sc0ttkclark @dipesh.kakadiya Unfortunately this approach '''does not
 work'''. In many languages, translations are different depending on the
 post type. One can't pass variables as the context for translation
 functions. Thus, extending post type labels is the only viable approach.

 I attached a new patch in [attachment:18375.5.diff]. There were only some
 minor changes compared to the previous one. Now, a post type does not need
 to support `page-attributes` in order to be able to select a template. For
 example, if there's at least 1 template for the 'post' post type, the meta
 box will be displayed — without the page attributes stuff like order and
 hierarchy of course.

 @johnbillion @DrewAPicture @ocean90 Does anyone want to give this a go? It
 would be great to get this in before beta 1.
