Yes, since the english version is the license that is offered. However, you 
can provide a translation in addition if you include some statement to the 
effect that in case of conflict the english version is binding.

On gnu.org there is some more information about translating the GPL.
See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLTranslations
