Thanks for your quick answer!

Yes, no locale. I compared with a Suse 7.3 machine which can change 
locale and as I understand locale data is stored at /usr/lib/locale which 
isn't on the Suse 8.0 machine at all.
I tried with yast2 to set the language (System/Change Language) to 
"Deutsch", but this seems to fail. After Accept it just falls back to the 
yast2 screen, no configuring action is taken. (But I noticed now some 
minutes later that yast2 is now in German, just don't know after which 
action this happened.)
I checked rpms with yast and I couldn't find any source for that in Suse 
7.3 but found glibc-i18ndata (8 MB) and glibc-locale (120 MB) via yast2 
on the Suse 8.0 machine. It looks like glibc-i18ndata is the source for 
glibc-locale. So I installed glibc-i18ndata, created /usr/lib/locale and 
then ran the command below you suggested. That ran fine and I'm now able 
to change the LANG variable to de_DE and get German output.
However, Squirrelmail still knows only English. I checked the Wiki page 
and looked for a "gettext.so" entry in php.ini, but there isn't one. I 
again reloaded Apache. I'm running PHP in safe_mode but it is set off for 
this virtual host with "php_admin_value safe_mode 0". I added a 
/usr/share/locale/local.alias file with 
deutsch         de_DE.ISO-8859-1
de              de_DE.ISO-8859-1
de_DE           de_DE.ISO-8859-1

Yes, gettext is enabled according to php_info().
I think I tried every tip I could find but none helps. :-(
Anyone getting this fine on Suse 8.0? If so, what do I need?

Oh, I tried a last thing now: I looked for gettext libs, gettext isn't 
installed. So I installed gettext, reloaded Apache et voilà, I've got 
German now :-)

Hope this helps other with problems on Suse 8.0.
