You all are right. It worked for me.
This was my fault. A S Alam your comment 24 is correct: thats the german
strings.
1. I didn't know that I must use "system-config-language".
2. After that I MUST reboot in F16. I understood "system-config-language" that
a simple logout is enough (so I hadn't problems to check this with live cd).
In F15 was the logout enough to change the Login-translations.

And in my many tries I realized, that this language-switch is a complex thing.
Is this really needed?
a: On a live cd or a fresh install I need Internet-connection to get the tool
"system-config-language". But I don't have an internet-connection everywhere.
Then the language-portion which is loaded from internet depends from the
installed applications. On that fresh install the switch to german is very
quick done. But on my horsepower-PC with F15 installation is LibreOffice,
GCompris, ... and I switched already to german. But the
"system-config-language" told me that no german support is installed and then
it loaded many files which took an era on my one pc that has a very very small
and very very instable internet connection.
Some files are checked that these are already on my pc but I believe that some
other files downloaded for a second time. Are there unneeded dependencies? But
this is a subjective feeling. 

b: The tool "Region and Language" should give a hint that
"system-config-language" is needed for the system-wide settings.

c: Is it possible to do on the loginscreen an easy language switcher for
everyone? The menu could show all installed languages for the login-screen and
should be presented like this: first the english name and in braces the native
name) like many installers do.
...
german (deutsch)
...


OK.
Thanks for all which helped me. For me this bug is closed, because this was not
really a bug. I didn't know it better.

All you guys which are envolved in the translation-system, thank you for all
your hard work until now and keep your motivation for another long time.
