The window-buttons are usually provided by the windowing system and thus
are not translated by the application itself. So check that your desktop
environment runs in a german locale. Also this should be the same then
for any other apps that run on your machine.

Have you checked wether a QFileDialog provides proper translated text?
(All files should be translated for example). Also check that the
translation files are actually installed under
<qt-install-dir>/translations
