The German researchers will be able to open your family file, send them a backup of your family file and the multimedia files. If you want to only send a portion of your file (the line they potentially belong to for example) you can export to a Legacy file under a new name. During the export you can limit the records transferred. Make a backup of that file and its multimedia.
Both the paid and free version use the same file format. With the paid version you have extra features that they will not have access to but they can open the file. Of course all the data you have entered in English in Notes etc. will still be in English in their copy. The German version displays screen using German for the labels of fields and such but does not translate user entered data.
