The solution is found.

It is the Forge Tiling extension.

I created an issue for Forge:

## Description gnome desktop popup menu is in english but should be german … ![grafik](https://github.com/forge-ext/forge/assets/10911665/f5fcf69a-251d-4a55-83ae-5b9c9503d779) ### Problem Explanation All the gnome desktop is in german. All menus, everything, except for this popup menu. The bug happens when Forge extension is enabled. Disabling the extension and doing a logout/login shows the correct german popup menu. This is easily reproducible multiple times by enabling/disabling the Forge extension. See also: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/gnome-desktop-is-partially-in-english-instead-of-all-german/17144/1 Possible root cause mentioned there is: > My guess would be that some of them calls Gettext.textdomain(), which doesn’t just set the domain for the extension in question (as intended), but for the entire gnome-shell process.
