And nothing is in german?

Can you check if all the german mate packages are installed:
cards list|cut -d " " -f2|grep de$|more

boss1966

on console everything is in german. In Mate everything is in english.

the german packages seemed to be installed. I installed gnome and in the gnome-settings i change the language to german. But even then everythings still in english :(

So (because the system is really fast) I installed plasma. Changing the Language-Settings to german gives me a german plasma-desktop :). The applications are still in english ... :-[

You could check if the /etc/profile.d/i18n.sh file is correct. Should contains something like:
export LANG=de_DE.utf-8

For your locale packages list for mate:
cards list|cut -d " " -f2|grep de$|grep mate

And last one what version did you test ?

9.1 or 9.0.95

/etc/profile.d/i18n.sh contains export LANG=de_DE.utf-8
cards list|cut -d " " -f2|grep de$|grep mate shows a lot of mate-stuff with the .de ending
uname -a says Linux version 4.9.23-NuTyX-lts
i downloaded the NuTyX_i686-9.1.iso and made a stick with rufus (dd)

Thierry

How do you login into mate ?
slim, xorg-xdm or lxdm

boss1966

with slim. I first use lxdm,but got problems to log in...

Thierry

I guess that's the reason... Try to put back lxdm (you will need to delete slim), reboot and choose MATE as interface
