Hi Anke,

I just tried with 2.8 on Windows and everything is in German.

You're right. This is confusing for two reasons:
1. 'open' and 'new' are two different things. 'New' means to create 
something not yet existing, while 'open' expects anything that's already 
there.
2. Hovering over the second icon in the button bar at the dialogs bottom 
I read 'Ein neues Bild erstellen'.  First, it's very unexpected to 
create a new _image_ from a _gradient_ dialog, second it opens the 
gradient editor dialog. So, it should be 'Einen neuen Farbverlauf 
erstellen'. The en_us translation is right: 'Create a new gradient'. 
This simply seems to be an error in German translation.

Could your Windows regionale and language settings be wrong and cause 
this mixture? I read of a similar problem with Portuguese and English 
(see 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimponosx/forums/forum/761056/topic/3454274) 
and the reason were wrong system settings.

Trying to reproduce this behaviour I found another confusing item: in 
the gradient context menu there is an item 'Save as CSS...' in the 
German translation. Selecting it opened an English dialog for the 
underlying Python script (I have a 32-bit Windows). I guess both still 
need to be translated. Shall I report a bug for this?
