I had a look at your PPD file and into the specification. It seems that
the translation in your PPD file doesn't follow the specification. In
your file we have these lines:

*de.Translation MediaType/Medientyp: PickOne: ""
*de.MediaType plain/Normalpapier: "<</MediaType(plain)>>setpagedevice": ""

In the first line "de.Translation" is the main key, "MediaType" the
option keyword and "Medientyp" the translation of the option keyword.
"PickOne" is the value and everything after that is just not allowed by
the specification.

We could add a work around in the parser for this case, but first we
need to find out for sure, whether this is a valid PPD file and where it
comes from.

Hope this helps
