Could it be included in all versions?
- Attention: Le rajout "Island Challenge" est normalement uniquement compatible avec la version anglaise, et si vous y jouez elle transformera votre version française actuelle du jeu en version anglaise (vous devrez réinstaller la version française pour retrouver votre langue dans le jeu de base).

I'm not a member of the GOG staff, so I can't tell you. I don't know if a French and German translation of this add-on even exists. I think your best bet is to contact support and ask them about it.

It would be perfect, but that was not what I asked.
Instead of having two installations of the game (french and english), I wanted the english add-on in the french version.
There would be the warning in french about not to use it if don't wan't to make all the game becoming english.

German translation:

Achtung: Die "Island Challenge"- Erweiterung ist nur mit der englischen Version des Spieles kompatibel. Jeder Versuch, sie mit der deutschen oder französischen Version zu nutzen, führt zu einem Umschalten des gesamten Spieles auf die englische Sprachfassung!

Fixed :)
Log is changed, but still not the installers (french is still 2.0.0.2, not .3). It seems I've not been read:
https://www.gog.com/forum/fantasy_general/changelog/post5
So the french new log is false, I had made it for a new french version installer including the english add-on.

We added this add-on to the English version only and there have been no changes made to the French or German versions of the game unless I am mistaking what you are trying to say?

Believe you are. They wanted the English only add-on to be installed with the French and German versions with the warning that the add-on itself is English only. Currently, the only way to access the add-on content is to also install the English version of the game. No idea if the add-on behaves well with the localized versions anyway...

If it was installed with the other versions then it would change them into English and, thus, it would render them useless for those who wish to play a non-English version of the game.

So, ill-behaved with localized versions. Guess it was never localized to other languages?

Unrelated, but have you guys thought about adding some of the German only expansions for the Settlers' games? Assuming you could distribute them worldwide.

The problem as changed! It can't be just played, or it can't be installed????

It can be played and installed and it already comes with the English version and only the English version since it makes non-English versions, well, English :/

Basically, think of it as if you had a French version of a game and then you went applied an update that was meant for the English version: the game is updated and it works but it's no longer in French.

I guess it wasn't judging by how rare and seemingly undocumented this add-on was.

As for the second part of your post, not sure as I don't make those decisions :)
