The language file has nothing to do with your keyboard, using one will only replace the strings that dosbox prints on the screen, i.e. dosbox will talk german instead of english.
Start dosbox,
type "config -writeconf german.lang",
quit dosbox,
start notepad german.lang and find your dictionary and translate everything in the file.
To use your language file start dosbox like this: "dosbox-lang german.lang"
