Understood.

Part of the localization is recorded in the database.
It is necessary to rule there.

from german xoops 2.5.8, but I checked/updated all language file from install folder and also the language/german/global.php

and I think it is not the language file, because in the menu on top you see english words and in overview in the center you see german words for exactly the same
e.g. in the menu: Preferences > System options > General settings
in the main center: Alle Systemeinstellungen > Allgemein

Did you check the language files in /install?

You might also check some of the files like /include/makedata.php or the /sql/mysql.data.sql

Maybe we've missed some translations there, and we'll need to extract some words to the language files?

Most probably you don't have the German translation of the new Admin theme "Transitions"

\modules\system\themes\transition\language\german\admin.php

Try to copy the German files from the /default Admin theme...

If you install xoops by default, with English, some variables are written to the database, which you can then change only through the mysql editor.
For example table profile_field

There is no provision in the profile module to localize the strings in profile_field. You can create totally new fields, so it is possible no language constant ever existed. Only the initial setup uses the constants, after that whatever is entered in the profile module admin area is used.

If another language is properly installed as the default when the profile module is installed, it should use that language as the starting values in profile_field. To dynamically translate the profile_field field_title, you would need to use a multi-language hack like xlanguage.

Also, I think Michael is correct that the admin page screenshot issues are strings in the new transition theme:
modules/system/themes/transition/language/english/admin.php

Add translations for that file, and it should fix that issues.

Goffy & Bleekk, could you please upgrade the German translation for XOOPS 2.5.9 on:

https://github.com/XoopsLanguages/german

And on Transifex?

Thanks you!!!
