Comment(by martinl):

 Replying to [comment:2 marisn]:
 > The source of problem is - someone (username martinl) decided that
 English language is the only language that matters and backported startup
 screen changes (r64496) that touched a lot of strings. (This would be a
 huge no-no in any large project, like KDE, where breaking strings so close
 before release is considered to be something like a deadly sin.) As a
 result - for most of languages GRASS 7.0.0 was shipped with a untranslated
 welcome screen.

 It's still better to ship the new startup screen than the old version.
 It's quite simple answer.
