Damn, this is German, right. ESS tracks "debug at", and other English
phrases. To illustrate, paste the following into your *R* session:


   debug at /tmp/ESS-region/tests.R at 28#3: 1 + 2
   
   Browse[2]> Error in x %*% y (from models.R#46) : 
                                
   Error in source("~/R/funcs.R") (from hierarchy.R#6) : 

You should see all 3 references above highlighted and clickable.

Tracking all possible languages is not an option. May be there is a way
to ask R for this, but I don't know how.

So you have two options. Either make your R speak English, or set the
regexp variables that start with ess--dbg-regexp-* to your
language. They are defined in ess-tracebug.el at line 1102. Also
ess-R-error-regexp-alist and all the regexps added to
compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist. See ess-r-d.el at lines 232-247
(in ESS devel). 

The second option is a bit of a pain and is clearly not recommended. Bot
R and ESS sides could be modified in the future.
