Licenses for software and other works

Is a software license still valid if translated into another language?

GNU GPL, BSD, MIT, and so on... all free software licenses were developed abroad and, of course, when using them, you need to add the license text to the project's distribution kit. But what if not the original text of the license in English is added to the project, but, for example, its Russian translation? Will the license have any validity in such a case?

Such a translation must be marked as unofficial and not legally equivalent to the original.
For example, translations and requirements for them GNU GPL
Similarly, other licenses.
