I am not sure that it is in the translation. Here is why:

German version:

Die Feldnamen "Vorname", "Nachname" und "Geburtstag" dürften klar sein. 
Zusätzlich wurde ein Feld mit der Bezeichnung "ID" eingetragen. Dieses 
Feld soll später einen Wert aufnehmen, der die einzigartige Eigenschaft 
eines jeden Datensatzes ist. So ein einzigartiges Schlüsselfeld ist für 
die eingebettete Datenbank notwendig. Ansonsten lassen sich keine 
Datensätze in die Tabelle eingeben. Dieses Schlüsselfeld wird bei 
Datenbanken als «Primärschlüssel» bezeichnet.

Google's translation:

The field names "first name", "last name" and "birthday" should be 
clear. In addition, a field with the name "ID" was entered. This field 
will later hold a value that is the unique property of each record. Such 
a unique key field is necessary for the embedded database. Otherwise, no 
data records can be entered in the table. This key field is referred to 
as “primary key” in databases.

However, this paragraph needs to be rewritten to make it more 
meaningful. As Robert has pointed out, tables can be created in the Base 
GUI. Data can be added to such a table using Tools > SQL. My question to 
Robert is this: How can a table without a primary key be accessed in 
terms of forms, and reports? I know queries can be created with Tools > 
SQL.
