It's a bit redundant but does make some sense.

Normally, if a book is translated, so is the cover image. Why should the cover image of a translated book be only in the original language? Even if the title is the same as in English (because it is understandable in the target language), there is usually an addendum in the second language. E.g. Douglas Coupland's "Generation A" in German is "Generation A: Ein Roman."
And if the titlepage contains any text, it is usually in the same language as the book, as well.
