It does help ! If I understand properly :

The licensor chooses the national legal framework and top level conditions for the license, this leads to a legally binding text in the language of the national legal framework selected. If this language is not English, an unofficial translation of this precise license text into English (at least) should be available at some future time.

In the case of share alike licenses, one has to allow for the inevitable (hopefully small) discrepancies of rights conceded under the same top level conditions but different national legal frameworks that may apply to successive generations of his work.
