I can also ask the question differently: Currently, new list members receive a welcome email in German. How can I change this text?

I believe it starts with the English template message and translates the strings in it.

Hi,

I have successfully installed Sympa.

A colleague is now working intensively with the program. He noticed that
the interface is entirely in German, and the welcome message is also
sent in German. However, when he looks at the templates, they are all in
English. How is that possible?

There are files of translated strings that have the English string and the
corresponding string in the other language. In the distribution, the
German translations are:

po/sympa/de.po
po/web_help/de.po

They are compiled into Gnu message catalogs when you build the software, and the
software looks up the translated strings at runtime.

Also see this site where the translations are managed:

R's,
John
