Yes that is right

I would suggest you to take the html file from old Silpa which is on
savannah nongnu. You see templates are also important for modules
correct working. Copy pasting is not right thing to do [1]

Well you first need to know what guesslanguage is for and understand how
do you use it in old silpa[2]. It will be the same in new silpa too. But
keep in mind you might need to fix javscripts in template to get it work
properly and I should say I'm no js expert so all you can do is refer
current template and see how you can fix your template if it is not
working.

Hope this will help you proceed. And please make sure when you port a
module make it available on public repo. I guess I've already ported
guesslanguage in my github account
