Since most upstream developers don't follow closely what versions of
their packages are installed on any given GNU/Linux distribution, it's
always best to include the package version rather than the distribution
name/version; in this case "make --version" output.

Thanks for your report!

Note that the translation of GNU packages is handled through the
Translation Project, not by the upstream maintainers themselves.  In
order to get a translation fix in, it has to be made by the Translation
Project translation team for that language (the GNU developers merely
download the translation file from them and include it verbatim in our
packages).
