 I have not yet tested with de locale, but there's nothing obviously
wrong in the code. You have translation for the string in the de.po,
gettext gets called for translating the strings when they are being
shown.

 Have you made 'make install' or are you running freeciv from the
build directory? Translations are not searched from the build
directory, so if you have not installed your new build, you may
actually be using translations from some older, installed, build.
