Using natbib sets the citation style to apacite (see
http://mirrors.rit.edu/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/apa6/apa6.pdf ), which is
probably what you want, anyway. I have not dealt much with language issues,
but I think the best place to start is to take a look at the documentation
for the apacite package: http://ctan.org/pkg/apacite There is a section in
the documentation about language-specific issues, where it suggests that
you study the .apc file. I would guess that the established method of using
babel and .apc files should work.

If you want to brute-force it, then you could edit the apacite.bst file,
but I think that loading the correct .apc should work. If not, perhaps some
minor edits to your .apc file will solve the problem. My brief look at
german.apc makes me believe that it should be correct already (maybe the
problem is that it's not getting loaded?), but I am not so good at German.

I hope that helps.
