I have translated the text for the property timetracking.field.description and environment.field.description (in language_de_DE.jar) but when entering a new issue the english default text is displayed instead of the german one.

Hi Arne,
What you are running into is a limitation in Jira. The problem is that you can enter a fields description in the database and by default Jira ships with some english database entries for field descriptions. If you field configuration does not differ from the default configuration then there is a hack that will get the field descriptions from the default (which has been initialized from the properties file). If the field configuration is at all different from the default then it will read its information from the db, which in your case will be english descriptions.
The best workaround for you is to manually edit the description for your field configuration to be the german text. Perhaps in the future this can be fixed properly to allow translations through the UI, much like types, resolutions, etc. Until then I am afraid the workaround will have to do.

Thanks,
Dylan
