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.

Thanks, Mike.
