And nothing is in german?

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

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:
Code: [Select]
export LANG=de_DE.utf-8
For your locale packages list for mate:
Code: [Select]
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)

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

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