Maybe instead of gettext.install() in I18N.py, you could directly use 
gettext.translation(), which supports a 'languages' argument.
This could be initalized with 'locale.getdefaultlocale()[0]', which 
returns 'de_DE' on my Windows machine.

The attached patch is untested, because I can't compile Zenmap on my 
Windows machine, but it should give you the idea.
