According to [the "#Usage_on_en.wikipedia.org" section, of] this "GlobalUsage" page, this file is used on about 8 pages (" English Wikipedia" pages), in "article" space (not counting two "Talk:" pages, and one "User:" ["/sandbox"] page). (...That is, as of the last time I checked.) <--[which was circa 29-Jan-2017]
Therefore, IMHO it might be useful to have a version of this "*.png" file, containing (within the graphics) more English and less German.
Since this file seems to be a "public domain" file, creating a "modified" version of it is allowed. (and, the modified version could be released /slash "published", under any desired license ... including one that makes it a "free/libre" [or even "public domain"] map or file.)
I am not very familiar with how to use [The] GIMP, but it is Free and open-source software (FOSS) ... which "might" mean [that using it might entail] less risk of (accidentally or otherwise) incorporating some "non free" content into the "modified" version of the file. However, if the person who creates the new file is not superstitious, then ... I guess commercial / "proprietary" / " COTS" software, could also be used.
I think that the "output" (results) of [an instance of use of] " Google Translate" is OK to publish on a web site like Wikipedia, under some " CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported" -type (and, " GFDL" -type) licenses ... (right?)
With that understanding, here are some English translations that I obtained recently (for free) by using " Google Translate" ( https://translate.google.com/).
Those two appear in the little rectangle that explains (currently, in German!) the meaning of the "green" and "orange" (or ... "brownish orange") areas shown on the map in this "*.png" file.
Finally (this is one that I figured out, without needing any help from " Google Translate"):
In the place where it now says "KANADA", it might be more appropriate, in an " English" version of this file, to instead say "CANADA", (for the convenience or benefit of the readers of English Wikipedia).
