Comment:

 Not a bug. Everything works as expected. Try to select "de" and you will
 see that it works.

 The source of problem is - someone (username martinl) decided that English
 language is the only language that matters and backported startup screen
 changes (r64496) that touched a lot of strings. (This would be a huge no-
 no in any large project, like KDE, where breaking strings so close before
 release is considered to be something like a deadly sin.) As a result -
 for most of languages GRASS 7.0.0 was shipped with a untranslated welcome
 screen.
