So if you're using Tor and the exit node is in Germany (e.g. to Google it looks like you're in Germany), then Google will show up in German. Google actually isn't involved in Tor. There's lots of websites that geolocate your IP address and behave differently depending on what part of the world they think you're in. I believe hulu.com won't let you watch video if you're not in the US, and BBC won't let you stream video unless you're in the UK.
