After I 'intalled' the German language by uploading the .po file I noticed that the description information for 'event', 'page' etc. are still in english.

I gone to admin/settings/locale/ and searched for it. I found the event description, changed it - and it works fine. After that I wanted to do so for 'page' node description, too. But no success.

I ended in admin/settings/locale/string/edit/2585 - there 'is allready!' a german translation for "If you want to add a static page, like a contact page or an about page, use a page." - its "Für statischen Inhalt, wie eine Kontakt-Seite oder eine Über-Uns-Seite kann eine Seite benutzt werden.". But it never show up on node/add - its everytime the english version.

Because it works for event - but not for page (node type) I`m asking myself if this is a bug or what I´m doing wrong.

Sincerally l8a

most likely, you're not doing anything wrong.

as your request is filed under drupal 5.x, i assume you've used the according language file, which is not yet fully completed. You can, though, alter or add translation for any item.
As for your second issue - the translation being available but not showing: the same was or is (?) true for the title of the contact pages, the to-be-translated english item was misspelled "contact" instead of "Contact" (notice the capital letter). It may well be the case that this problem does apply for other items.

Hope this points in the right direction.

It's not actually a bug but a downside of the new content type feature which allows admins to add and remove content types. Go to Administer >> Content >> Content types where you'll be able to change the descriptions.

See this and this message in the Translator's mailing list for an explanation.
