I have a freshly installed F17 system with both GNOME and KDE installed.

If I run system-config-language it brings up a selection of languages if I 
choose German it tells me the selection honored on my next login. 

If I login under GNOME it get LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 as an environment variable, the 
menus and such are in German and I'm prompted if I want to change the names of 
the "default" folders

In KDE the environment variable is change, the language is not changed in the 
displays.  To "fix" KDE one needs to install kde-l10n-German.

Mine is a fresh F17 install.  When installing I only added Japanese, Korean, 
Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
