It seems not I then installed it
 apt-get install locale-de
then 
env tells me
LANG=de
but 
when running gnucash

I obtain 

gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at configure time.

* 20:18:07  WARN <Gtk> Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.


LOCALE shows me:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

So I am very confused.

Point taken if it works as you describe that would be fine, alas it
seems not to work
