Ah, but does your emacs see that?  You may wish to reveal that locale
setting not only to emacs, but to all applications that you run, by
defining it in ~/.MacOSX/environment.  The easiest way to create/edit
that file is via the system preference pane RCEnvironment.  Just set the
variable LANG to de_DE.UTF-8.  You need to log out and back in for the
variable to take effect.  (I don't guarantee that this will solve your
problem, but it would surprise me if not.)
