I can't really. Simply put:

1. The translator translated this part of the man page.

2. He (just for fun) executed "cat /proc/net/udp" on his system.

3. He saw a difference to what is shown in proc(5).

4. He reported it.

5. On your request, I also executed "cat /proc/net/udp" on my system.

I have zero knowledge if this is a bug on my system, a (recent)
change, done on purpose in the man page etc. 

So I mark this as WONTFIX for now, maybe the person who wrote this
part of proc(5) can pick it up some day and check how to proceed best.

Greetings

        Helge
