Ok, I made a mistake and confused a country's legal version like
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/it/ with the mere
translation of the US license like in
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/deed.it .
It might just be me, but maybe there is a need to clarify which
country's jurisdiction the licence you're viewing actually belongs to.
This could be a situation where the use of national flags is indeed
useful. So, to stick to the example of Italy, that the deed features an
Italian flag regardless in what language you are reading the Italian
deed. I know it says "Italy" in the Licence name already.
But I suppose not everybody reading a license in his native tongue (the
cc server does language negotiation so that you get the deed in the
language selected in your browser, if available) is able to realize if
he is reading a translation or a license that actually applies to his
country.
