You're right. Not everything in the game is translated to German, since some of the text for the game, such as for user interface elements, are held in the game executable. The German fan patch provides a replacement with the text changed, but since Nuvie, and now ScummVM, is a replacement for the game's executable, it doesn't include those changes. As an example, I've attached a screenshot showing this.. although Lord British's name is still in English, the text of the conversation, coming from game data files, is translated.
The only way for a full German translation would be to extend Nuvie with all the relevant German text. I'll leave this ticket open; it's outside the scope of a simple fix, so could be considered a feature request for the future for anyone interested in tackling it.
