Launcher:

Karte Editor --> Karteneditor

Andere möglichkeiten --> Weitere Optionen

Videospieler --> Translation is correct, though it sounds strange. Still 
thinking about a better word. Maybe "Video Player"

Main menu:

Single Player: "Einzelspieler" or the english word "Singleplayer"

Multiplayer: "Mehrspieler" or the englisch word "Multiplayer"

Intro: "Einleitung" is ok...."Intro" works as well

I'm now looking at the translations ingame.

Why did you do a new tranlsation? It sounds like an automated translation now 
for some of the words and sentences. The german translation from the Dos 
version was just fine.

Main menu:

Video --> "Videos" or "Filmarchiv" (means movie archive and is used sometimes 
in german translations)

Only certain things were available in german: database text, building and 
technology descriptions, battle finish texts. Everything else had to be 
created. My german is a little bit old and non-technical, this is why I used a 
translator.

Well, you could have checked the german version. I know someone who owns the 
images ;)

Just kidding. I'll do it. Will take some time though.

The chat is in TEXT.PAC as well, but the new Objectives panel and all the 
mission text never ever appeared in the original. I had to "invent" them, and I 
didn't bother with the notification texts in any language.

Take your time. (The next major step will be the implementation of space-chat.)

other options:

release notes --> "Versionshinweise" 

Project webpage --> "Projekt Webseite", just a typo

run settings --> your translation doesn't make any sense but I guess you mean 
settings regarding the jave runtime environment, I'm pretty sure you mean 
"Laufzeit Einstellungen" though not many german gamer know such technical 
terms. Maybe something like "Start-Einstellungen" (means "start settings") ist 
better.

Verify installation --> Installation überprüfen", just a typo
