Just tried it with a 6.2.2 installation and it worked without problems.

First check in the Install Tool that there are no issues left in:
- System environment
- Folder structure

Then move to the backend. In ADMIN TOOLS > Language you can mark which 
languages must be downloaded; in your case German. Once you mark a 
language below "Languages" an extra column appears on the right below 
"Translations". All extensions have 'Not checked' behind them.
Now you use the option "Update from repository" on the top to start 
checking/downloading the translations. You'll see the progress in the 
columns on the right.

After this is finished there should be extra directories with the 
language files on the file system at /typo3conf/l10n/de/<extension>/...
And in typo3temp you should have a list of files named 
<extension>-l10n-<lang>.zip

If a language is downloaded it is also available in your account 
settings (USER TOOLS > User settings). After changing the language use 
the 'save' button on the top to save the user settings. The menu on the 
left should reload and show the text in the selected language. The User 
settings screen itself will not be in the newly selected language yet 
(that will only happen if you select it in the menu on the left).

What can go wrong:
- zip files cannot be written to typo3temp (folder permissions?)
- zip files cannot be unpacked (something wrong with PHP modules 
configuration?)
- language files cannot be written to typo3conf/l10n/... (folder 
permissions?)
