Yep,

I found the solution myself.

Maybe someone else might like to know it, too.

In order to get a JFileChooser dialog in a different language than
english, you have to create resource files for all the different plafs.
They are located in:

com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.resource,

and

javax.swing.plaf.basic.resource,
javax.swing.plaf.metal.resource

and so on.

Look at rt.jar to see what files contain the JFileChooser (and
JColorChooser as well) resources.

Example:

For a german JFileChooser dialog, you have to create a
windows_de.properties file under
com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.resources.

Afterwards, you have to include the path to these files in your
classpath. You might as well zip everything into one of your jar files.

I hope this information is helpful to at least one person.
