Thanks - not really looked into dynamic routes before. Seems like a good opportunity to investigate further!

<p>I've got a site with several locales and want to reuse a set of categories across locales but want to target a locale specific template from within each.</p>

<p>Is it possible to set a locale-specific path within the category group settings, eg </p>

<pre><code>{{ craft.locale }}/_video
</code></pre>

<p>Cheers,</p>

This is probably one for your routes.php. Depending on how you would want to structure your URLs. Another quick way around could be to use a shared template to include the correct template

Is it possible to set a locale-specific path within the category group settings, eg 
{{ craft.locale }}/_video

It looks like this isn't possible. But what you can do instead is either:

Route them to a shared template using the category settings and use include programatically:
{% include 'myCatTemplate--' ~ craft.locale %}

Disable "Categories in this group have their own URLs" in the category settings and add your own dynamic routes.
