When you select different languages you should get more or less, depending of the language, translations for the main core of FreePBX. Not all of the modules are localized in all languages.
If you don't get any language change you are most certainly preventing the language cookie to be set. Check that you have set your browser to allow cookies, otherwise you wont get a language change.

In Tools for FreePBX there is a menu choice called PHP Info (if it is installed), if you click on that menu you get a nice information page about php. Search on that page after the text 'gettext'. You should see something like '--with-gettext' and gettext, GetText Support enabled.

dpkg-reconfigure locales

After running dpkg-reconfigure locales and removing de_CH locale it worked.
However, 80% of all Texts are still in English, I suppose they are simply not Translated yet.
Anyway, I found out that the German Terms like "Hauptleitung" are so misleading that I will continue to use the English language anyway


Thank you for the

Thank you for the feedback.
Feel free to update the German language if you like. In every i18n directory there is a .pot file with the text strings to translate. Instructions for translations can be read on the wiki http://freepbx.org/trac/wiki/I18n
