You don't need the "export"s in /etc/locale.conf. It's for shell (script) only.
P.S. If everything works, maybe you should remove those lines in .bashrc and .xinitrc too

Setting the LC_* variables to the same value as LANG is unneccesary, as LANG will be used if they are unset anyway. See locale(7).
You don't need the "export"s in /etc/locale.conf. It's for shell (script) only.
The export statements are what probably break the locale assignment. Because according to locale.conf(5) "beyond mere variable assignments, no shell features are supported". And locale.conf is read by systemd, not your shell.
Silvio, what is the output of the "locale" command inside your XFCE session?
Also make sure the line "de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8" is uncommented in /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen afterwards.

Sorry now little crazy. Should write export or not? In wiki stand exports thats why i use it.

siefke ~/Downloads $ locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
There stand all german but not present in System. Something really hate me :). I has delete all folders for config, i start with new account practical, i create other user. But ever the same. A mix of English and german. Not normal.
Also make sure the line "de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8" is uncommented in /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen afterwards.
siefke ~/Downloads $ cat /etc/locale.gen | grep de_DE # de_DE ISO-8859-1 # de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15 de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 #de_DE ISO-8859-1 #de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
siefke ~/Downloads $ cat /etc/locale.conf LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
Funny thing, i have feeling i must Arch new install. :(
Hope we find the mistake and thanks for help.
Nice Day Silvio
1) Did you run 'locale-gen' command as suggested? 2) Are you sure programs you use have German locale? Maybe it doesn't :)

Yes im sure VLC, Sylpheed, Thunar, Geany, Xfce can use German locale, because they do it now too. I has reinstall Arch now.
Thank you & Greetings Silvio

Try to reinstall glibc.
In the future, if you get a warning or error that a necessary file is missing, you can use pkgfile to see if there is a package that should be providing it.
This is what I get: $ pkgfile /usr/share/locale/locale.alias core/glibc
Hello,
i has run now locale-gen and is this normal what come as output?
archmobile ~ # locale-gen Generating locales... de_DE.UTF-8 locale alias file `/usr/share/locale/locale.alias' not found: No such file or directory Generation complete.
That's not normal or?
Thanks for help & Nice Day Silvio
No,
try reinstalling glibc?

siefke ~ $ cat .xinitrc #!/bin/sh # # ~/.xinitrc # # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f" done unset f fi
exec startxfce4
