Foreign OGLs and SRDs?

[WhatGravitas]

Something I've been musing about, due to too much free time, but also out of curiosity:

Is there any non-English version of the OGL or even the SRD?

I've googled a bit about a German SRD, and the problem was that the translation is copyrighted... which made a German SRD problematic, on the other hand, I've read about a German version of Etherscope... which made me curious about the state of foreign OGLs and SRDs and how they're handled.

And since my forum-fu in English forums is much better than in German forums (i.e. where I'm registered), I've figured out, I should ask here...

Any comments, snippets of info, or anything else?

EDIT: It's a bit inspired by rycanada's E6 (if you don't know it, go visit the House Rules forum, it's awesome ) - if there is something more clear about a foreign OGL (esp. a German version of the SRD), I'd love to ask (and possibly help) rycanada to do a German version of it... because my group consists of two people who cannot write/speak/understand English for the life of them.

I believe the answer is no.

Back in the early days I remember someone asked to translate it into another language. Someone official (Ryan Dancey?) pointed out that the OGL & SRD are legal documents and any translation would require WotC to have it done by those with legal expertise. After all, if some translation errors happened than that might be legally binding in some countries. Plus, different countries surely have different laws that might require vastly different content.

There is a French SRD of the revised third edition, done by the official publishers of the French translation of the game. You can find it here in four zipped archives. It's called DRS rather than SRD, of course.

They also translated many of the free adventures WotC put on its website.

There are d20 products in Swedish but the OGL page is still in English.

After all, if some translation errors happened

It's more a when than an if, at least in my experience.

You can have the license translated into another language, but you have to make it clear to the non-English readers that the translation is not the official document.
