Hi Sebastian,
I've looked into the uml-book from Bern Oestereich and he used the
following german terms:
use case -> Anwendungsfall
operation -> Operation (because a function has to return a value IMHO)
Package -> Paket oder Subsystem
stereotype -> Stereotyp
public, private, protected -> public, private, protected
collaboration diagram -> Kollaborationsdiagramm
state diagram -> Zustandsdiagramm
activity diagram -> Aktivitaetsdiagramm

I think we should use these Terms because there are well known to the most
developers. It's not everytime the best way to translate everything.
Only my 2 cents.

Greetings,
  Sven
