Well, I'm relatively fluent in German so I could start by translating
a de FA into English and seeing how it turns out. Anyone know where
the list of FAs is for de:wp?

English it would work. Obviously this would involve reading through
the whole thing, but it is possible. One thing I'm not too sure of -
can we really copy FA text from a non-en:wp to en:wp and still comply
with GFDL without stating every single contributor in the edit
summary?
I do not see how the GFDL is in any way linked to a pages "edit
summaries" or "revision histories". It is more knowing who has
contributed in the long run, a history of which would be kept on the
non-en:wp page. It would be more than sufficient to reference that
page if someone found the need to trace the contribution history for a
page.
