Let me quote from the page:

So there is no translation of the GNU GPL, 
but an inofficial translation of the original text of the GNU GPL.

The FSFE wants to see a real GPL for the German law and has started
some activities towards it. Many trying to get competent lawyers
together lawyers in other countries and the FSFs lawyers.
Expect progress to be slow on this topic.
