The admin panel (WebUI) currently only has a single translation file (en.json) - there is no German or other language translation available in the WebUI codebase. The “locale” setting you configured affects server-side behavior (such as full-text search language detection and account defaults), but it does not change the language of the admin panel’s user interface itself.

In short: the WebUI is English-only at this time. There is only one translation bundle (en.json) shipped with the WebUI, so setting the locale to German will not change the text you see in the interface.

The locale setting on accounts does influence things like the default language used for email indexing and date/time formatting defaults, but it does not drive UI translations in the admin panel.

can I help with translating stalwart to german?

it would be cool, if the default locale and timezone could be set to a different value than en_US

Thanks, yes, once we enabled i18n for all products in a few months you’ll be able to contribute a translation.
