I currently have a web game under the GNU General Public License v3.0 open sourced on GitHub. Recently I found out that someone else had forked the repository and is setting up AdSense on their version. They really only just translated the project to Spanish, changed the name, and added a whole lot of content to the main page (to what I can only assume) to get approved for AdSense because of their original content rules.
So that leads me to:
Are they allowed/in the right to monetize a forked version of my project under the GNU General Public License v3.0?
If not, what should I do about it?

Yes, what is being done on that fork is entirely legal.
However, you are also allowed to take the useful changes (like the translation) and incorporate them in your own fork. Then you can advertise it as the add-free version that users might like better.
