My recommendation is that you should:

1. Rewrite the history of your fork, remove the unnecessary commits with
   the comments "Create test" and "Remove test". [1] You may find some
   recommendations never to rewrite the git history because it causes lots
   of confusion to other users but you can ignore them in your case because
   there are not "other users" of your fork (yet).
2. git push -f
   This command updates your github repo, "-f" confirms that you want to
   rewrite the history.
3. Make a pull request. [2]

The project maintainers have enough power to review accept or reject
your pull request but probably not enough knowledge about the German
language so it may be difficult for them to review.

As Jean-Baptiste mentioned, it is reasonable to manage the translation
of Flatpak docs via Zanata. [3] But this is a job of project maintainers,
I'm not sure you have enough power to do it (although if you do you are
welcome). Anyway, you are welcome to make a formal introduction and join
the German translation team. [4] I'm sorry I can't help more, I'm neither
a German translator nor a Flatpak maintainer.

Rafal
