Yes, it does. The OSX port follows the System Preferences language list, subject to the available translations. OSX Applications do not normally provide for using different languages from the system language.

However, you can trick it. Instead of having English at the top of your language list, use one of the other Engllish entries, perhaps British English, and put German second on the list. (Yes, this is a bug, and yes, I'm going to fix it for 2.4.1 because it really ticks off the English users. )
There's no language preference setting in Gnucash preferences. What do you mean by the "Info-dialogue"?
