Comment:

 Thanks! So, I had a look at the German release you have.

 I'm pretty sure your version is just an earlier version of that
 "LucasArts-Patches" DE release:

 * When dumping both their text content with `scummtr` I obtain around 2040
 lines. Only 225 lines differ between the two, which is 11%. Everything
 else is identical.
 * Between the two, I see some small adjustments, typo fixes, and... proper
 translations for Save/Load/Restart (etc.) settings.

 So, well, if fans make translations but don't translate some strings, I
 don't think it's ScummVM's job to fix that. Especially since, here,
 LucasArts-Patches ''did'' provide an update that translated those strings,
 back in 2015.

 So here, to me, the fix is: update your translation, i.e. use the v1.2
 update from the same source.

 (If you don't like the graphics doctoring they did along with that update,
 well...  it's a fan-made modification, so we just can't add code for
 everyone's preference and every fan-made change out there, it's just too
 much, sorry. We mostly focus on official releases -- with some exceptions
 such as the Ultimate Talkie Editions of Monkey Island, because they have a
 pretty big user base. If fixing your problem just took a few lines of
 code, I wouldn't mind adding them, but it's more than that, and a
 translation update does fix this detail.)

 So this is going to be a WONTFIX for me. Bringing fixes/changes to fan-
 made modifications is not in the scope of ScummVM. Sorry...
