Meanwhile, can we simply add the disclaimer at the top?

I've done a draft (unofficial) translation of the GPL for my  
language, which is being reviewed. I was doing it for the GNU  
website, so there was at least one translation available for our  
lamguage, not realizing the GPL was also a GNOME template. When it's  
been finalized, I'd like to offer the translation here, too.

But I'd certainly feel uneasy about using it without the disclaimer. :S
