The showed International settings where there and I was able to change my keyboard to "German" (other International settings still only contained US English).

Then I copied the file "default.properties" to "de.properties" in "/opt/amazon/ebook/config/locales/" and edited it (directly on the device with "vi").

Then I went to my PC, created a "translate_de_DE.txt" as suggested in the README.txt:
Code:
3-join.pl de_DE KindleTouch > translate_de_DE.txt
The I edited the file a bit, translated some strings and then created a new jar:
Code:
4-create.pl de_DE translate_de_DE.txt locale-de_DE.jar zip
At last I copied the resulting "locale-de_DE.jar" to "/opt/amazon/ebook/lib/" and restarted the device again.

Now it happened: it hangs at the "tree image" and does not continue
Any ideas what's going on and above all to make it boot again?

Try this:

Enter to "Recovery Mode" by holding "HOME" button for a couple of seconds while restarting (exactly while the screen flashes from black to white before "Amazon Kindle" logo appearance), then you get this message:
Zitat:
Type ‘RESET’ to reset to factory defaults

Type it then the system reset has been done successfully, and you have ability to use the Kindle normally again.
