That's nice. GNUstep has NeXT/Apple style of installing all language 
resources and you just need a default to activate it. You can have one 
application in a Language one in the Other, if you wish, or set it global

I don't know how you did install WindowMaker on your system, so if it 
has languages included. Supposing german is included correctly, have you 
tried the two suggestion on the WindowMaker site? Are you using systemd?

E.g.:
export LANG=de

or, alternatively launch windowmaker with the locale as parameter wmaker 
--locale de
