No, it worked just fine now.

No some are but several are not solved. Dennis updated this bug report
on  May 28th, 2004 01:18:44 mentioning that they are fixed in SVN/CVS
but did not yet get into d-i.
And this seems still to be the case.
Here are more details:
In the meantime the languages all start with a capital letter at the
beginning (selection of the keyboard language at the beginning of the
installation)
The word "Empfange" still wasn't replaced by "Lade" in the d-i
(loading of debian installer components).
The translation error in the hostname configuration "der Ihr
Rechner..." is also still not fixed in the d-i.
During the installation of the debian base-system the word "Empfange"
isn't replaced with "Lade".
Apt-configuration still shows one english sentence and then goes on in
german.
All the translation errors for the Exim4 configuration are still not
solved in d-i: examples: "weitergelietet", "geseichertm"...
