No, Federal Republic is the correct term (and the literal translation of Bundesrepublik).

  A federal republic is a form of federation, so calling Germany a federation of states is not wrong. Neither is calling it a federal republic more correct; just more specific.

    The official name is Federal Republic. I have never seen anybody use the term "German Federation" and can't find many references on Google either.

      They wrote it with small capital, which means it was used as a generic term which is completely fine.

        OP was asking if "German federation" was "a more literal translation of Bundesrepublik Deutschland", which it definitely isn't.
