Hi,

It all should have been translated. There may be several reasons for that:

1. If you are using the latest "bleeding" version of WordPress, it has a 
new compressor for TinyMCE that caches the zipped file on disk for 
faster loading. Connect to the server with ftp and go to 
/wp-includes/js/tinymce directory. Look for a file named "tiny_mce_[.... 
veeery long number....].gz". If it's there, delete it. It will be 
recreated next time TMCE loads (be careful not to delete any other file 
or you will have to upload it again from WordPress' installation package).

2. All browsers just love to cache JavaScript (that's a good thing but 
not when testing). Start your browser but don't go to the admin pages 
yet. First delete the browser's cache. In IE6 go to Tools -> Internet 
Options -> look for a button "Delete Files" -> click "Delete all..." + 
OK. In IE 7 and Firefox go to Tools -> Clear private data -> uncheck all 
options except the cache and click OK.

3. Now go to the New Post or Edit Post page, wait for it to fully load, 
hold down CTRL in IE6/7 or Shift in Firefox and click on "Reload/Refresh".

If still the English strings show up, it will need fixing. If you have 
Firefox + Firebug, have a look in "DOM -> tinyMCE -> i18n". On the left 
are the strings placeholders. They should start with the first 2 letters 
from your locale, "de" for German, "fr" for French, etc.

All the best,
Andrew
