German is wrong. Its Quak.

I suspect that's deliberate to make someone that speaks English and doesn't know German still get the correct impression of what it actually sounds like, rather than get the spelling right

Kwaak is correct for Dutch. I suspect someone got Dutch and Deutsch mixed up.

"Kerokero" is correct romanization. No problem there.
