How can i add a page.tpl.php for a page type and a language?
It doesn't work because page--type-receipe.tpl.php isn't a valid template suggestion. If you're looking to theme a page by node type &amp; language, you can do something like this to create your own theme suggestions inside your theme's template.php.

function MYTHEME_preprocess_page(&amp;$variables) {
  global $language;

  if(isset($language-&gt;language) &amp;&amp; isset($variables['node'])) {
    $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__'.$variables['node']-&gt;language.'__'.$variables['node']-&gt;type;
  }
}


This will let you make page--en--recipe.tpl.php a valid template file for a page showing a recipe node in english.
