Yes, in the admin settings you can change the locale of the UI, and 99% of our text has German counterparts (you can see language coverage on [Crowdin Enterprise](https://discourse.crowdin.com/discourse))

This can vary by feature, their carousel is custom, but much of the other changes were accomplished using CSS alone. We also have a variety of customizations in the #Customization > Theme component category here on Meta that can make things like banners, additional nav links, and featured posts easier to implement.
