But that begs the question about what the German association *does* with the
money donated to it. IIRC about 4000 Euro was donated directly to that
organization and yet have not seen nor heard about any of that being
transferred to the Wikimedia Foundation for any purpose (such as buying servers
or pay for bandwidth). If this is not correct, then please tell me (I'm still
missing some bank statements, so could have missed it).

That is not absolutely necessary. All you minimally need to do is translate it
and post it on meta. Somebody else could then post it to the foundation wiki.
