FSF has not approved any translation of their licenses (and should not either). For legal interpretations, use original english document. All translations of licenses should include a disclaimer (see [1]) since they a) have no legal power b) not issued by FSF c) are only for non-english speaking persons. I think that localized licenses are good. If they are used correctly.
