[SOLVED] KMyMoney doesn't use correct language

I've installed kmymoney but it doesn't use the correct translations which would be German in my case. The language package kde-l10n-de is installed and other KDE applications are display in German, e.g. Amarok which is based on KDE 4 as well. I tried to install kmymoney.mo in /usr/share/local/de/LC_MESSAGES manually (as described here: https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KMyMoney#Localization) but it didn't have any effect.

Both

KDE_LANG=de_DE kmymoney

and

kmymoney --lang=de

in different variants (de, de_DE, …) were not able to change the language of KMyMoney.

I opend the KDE language settings from inside KMyMoney (Settings -> KDE language settings) but everything is fine there.

This is what locale says:

locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="d

Do you have any ideas?
