German language pack is installed and tortoise gui and context menus are in 
german.

But action bar inside library of windows explorer is english.

As stated in the front page of the issue tracker you need to report this on the 
mailing list rather than creating a new issue. Also, are you sure this is XP? 
It looks very much like Win 7 to me.

Sorry, you are right. It is Win 7 german, 64bit.

I read changelog, installed nightly build, checked mailing list archive and 
finally checked issue tracker. I missed part of ML first.

The reason these are not localized is that those strings are written to the 
registry when installing TSVN. The strings are fixed.
To localize those, we'd have to overwrite the registry entries somehow:
* when installing the language pack: would work, but then the strings won't 
match the language if the user changes the language in the settings dialog 
again. The strings would match the last language pack installed - not 
necessarily the selected language from the settings dialog
* when changing the language in the settings dialog: this would require 
elevated privileges to write to the registry. We don't have those.

When changing language in settings dialog you could ask UAC for privileges.
We (20 people) would really appreciate to be able to localize menu.

Does a regular user often changes language after install? IMHO it isn't the 
case.
