Really sorry that you're experiencing this. I've been trying different things to try and reproduce it but so far I've been unable to. Are you still able to reproduce this issue in 7.7.0?
From your logs I can see that we are resolving to the correct locale:
# you have not changed the app locale in settings
INFO 2024-04-27T10:25:31.579Z got fast localeOverride setting null
# loaded correct preferred system languages
INFO 2024-04-25T13:10:56.489Z app.ready: preferred system locales: de-DE, en-DE
# matches correct locale
INFO 2024-04-25T13:10:56.490Z locale: Matched locale: de
# we log this after loading the locale so we can tell it loaded properly
INFO 2024-04-25T13:10:56.505Z locale: Text info direction for de: ltr

Yes, this problem still exists in version 7.7.0. I have a suspiciion that this might be an Electron problem. I am experiencing a similar bug in Microsoft's Skype for Desktop. Its UI is also in German, so it gets my unchanged system locale correctly as well, but VoiceOver speaks everything in English there, too. So my suspicion is that Electron, Chromium or a combination of both always communicates the app language to VoiceOver to be English. Meaning the basic engine, before any of the app stuff is even loaded, and for some reason prevents the overriding of the language via the web content. I don't know enough about chromium or Electron to debug this, but as I am seeing this in two separate Electron apps, the evidence is substantial.

With Electron Fiddle we could potentially create a smaller reproducible example for the Electron team to fix the issue. I created a basic gist to update the document locale based on the system locale loaded by electron.
- Download Electron Fiddle: https://www.electronjs.org/fiddle
- Load this gist: https://gist.github.com/89dba0f6f94c185b5625f22c3bb95461
- Click "Run" and it'll launch a small app and you can test it out if it has the same problem

This fiddle works as expected in both 27.1.3 and the default version of Electron 30 that is downloaded initially with Electron Fiddle. I also made sure to add a simple plain paragraph of German text below the button to make sure. Both are read in German as expected.

Played around with the possibility that it could be a build issue or a race condition and I'm coming up short. Is there anything you can think of that's unique about your device settings, app installation, etc?
If you download the Signal Beta, you can open up DevTools with Command+Option+I and inspect the <html> element to ensure it has lang="de" set properly
