What version of Mailman?  It's slightly different in 2.0 and 2.1.  I'll
assume 2.1, since that's the latest stable.  Check the archives for details
on 2.0.

Here's the explanation in the comments of Mailman/Utils.py:

    # When looking for a template in a specific language, there are 4 places
    # that are searched, in this order:
    #
    # 1. the list-specific language directory
    #    lists/<listname>/<language>
    #
    # 2. the domain-specific language directory
    #    templates/<list.host_name>/<language>
    #
    # 3. the site-wide language directory
    #    templates/site/<language>
    #
    # 4. the global default language directory
    #    templates/<language>

Did you add the apache directives as the INSTALL file instructs?  Something
like this:

    Alias /pipermail/ $varprefix/archives/public/

Here's what I have for the archives in my httpd.conf:

    Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/
    <Directory /var/mailman/archives>
        Options +FollowSymlinks
    </Directory>

HTH,
