I *think* Matt (or someone!) mentioned a company called 13Mann? They're the authorised distributors of the German translation of Traveller.

Pegasus and Ulissess both distribute the English language version of Traveller in Germany.
This is fascinating - I have heard similar things about Warhammer in Germany, where the translation is used, but not realy trusted, with players defaulting the the English language version whenever there is a hiccup in their game.
Haven't seen this in any other language, seems unique to Germany. . .

Many of the German publishers of roleplaying games are very small and
quite semi-professional companies, and so many of the translations are
semi-professional at best, too.
However, from what I have seen 13 Mann have done a comparatively
good job with the core rulebook.

I've seen it in English - at least with a number of Euro-type boardgames there are significant differences in the original language and the English translations and until word comes of an official change then people often go to the original text to check (Carcassone was a bit of an ightmare from memory) - OK with those games often called 'German games' then German is the language most often involved but I have seen it with games that were originally written in French too, I've been told about the same for Spanish ones though Ive never seen that myself.
Usually the issues get fixed in either the second printing or if the game is around for a while before the official English print version is done (as opposed to an English translation bunged in the box) then you'll find the issues resolved for the English print run.
Translation aint always easy...we do quite well here in Cambridge that we can usually russle up a native speaker of most of the laguages boardgames get written in at our sessions so can go to the original source language.
