What environment variable did you set to de_DE ? It does work fine
for me with LC_ALL=fr_FR ...

I have another problem with internationalization. In the gnome
panel (or any gnome apps that uses standardized strings, ie the name
of the menus), i've got empty string instead of the localized version.

I checked the .mo files, their are correct. I'll take the "Settings"
menu as example. I did find "_Settings" and the translation is 
"_Paramètres". It works fine while doing dgettext("gnome-libs", "_Settings")
in a test program but I keep having an empty string in the menu
of gnome apps.

Do someone know about this ? As this already been reported to the
Gnome folks ?

FYI, here are my environment variables concerning locales :
declare -x LC_ALL="fr_FR"
declare -x LC_CTYPE="ISO-8859-15"
