We give permission to publish translations of the GPL, GFDL, or LGPL intoother languages, provided that you (1) label your translations as unofficial(see below for how to do this), to inform people that they do not countlegally as substitutes for the authentic version, and (2) you agree toinstall changes at our request, if we learn from other friends of GNU thatchanges are necessary to make the translation clearer.
To label your translations as unofficial we want you to add the followingtext at the beginning, both in English and in the language of thetranslation—replacing language with the name of that language:
 "This is an unofficial translation of the GNU General Public License into language. It was not published by the Free Software Foundation, and does not legally state the distribution terms for software that uses the GNU GPL—only the original English text of the GNU GPL does that. However, we hope that this translation will help language speakers understand the GNU GPL better."

So I'll consider it whenever we (italians) will have an "official" unofficialtranslation of the gfdl 1.2.
Thank you for pointing out this.
