Unfortunately the XML documentation "system" is not that flexible.

I don't have a good solution for you, but you can look at using some XML editors to take the original XML produced by Visual Studio and translate it to German - if the XML structure remains the same, you can use the normal tooling (SandCastle or whatever) to produce the German documentation.

Update:

The approach that @ta.speot.is linked to in his comment is interesting and can be made to work.

In general, you have a complete copy of the documentation comments in a different language, only using an xml:lang attribute on the <summary> element - the produced document will contain all the XML elements and you can use XSLT to transform and select the language.

No, that's not possible, afaik. VS XML documentation mechanism currently supports only one comments block per class member.
