It's strange that this extension obviously defaults to German. However,
according to the manual you quoted, you can only set

config.locale_all = POSIX

or

config.locale_all = C

Both usually default to English. Currently your LANG and LC_ALL
environment variables are not set. If you want to make sure, install
English locales on your server and use them instead.

Cheers,
