Solution:

Remove the FrameworkVersion element in the vstemplate file from another folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Office SharePoint\1033\SharePoint15GlobalResource.zip\SharePointGlobalResource.vstemplate

After that, close the VS, run devenv /setup, and re-open the VS.
