Studying three literary translations of the story I got confused, because two of them (the German and the Romanian one) say „Templars prayer“. The English translation doesn’t mention the Templars.

My question:

a) should I understand Templarios as a location, chapel etc.
or
b) is the meaning Templars prayer? (la oración de los Templarios)?
I believe the other two translations you mentioned got it right (Templars Prayer).
«Dentro de poco sonará la oración de los Templarios ...»

Perhaps the English translator didn't want to "rewrite" what looked wrong.
