Yes. You can simple download the latest sources of tcsh-6.08.00 and
compile it yourself or have a look at the NetBSD package system.
Go to www.de.netbsd.org and browse your way through the packages.
I just checked, there are binary versions for some architectures
available.

I don't know offhand, but try man setlocale and follow the references.
I don't think that setting the language will change much, though :-)

Huh, if you managed the installation on your own I wouldn't call you
a bloody begginner anymore ;-) To be serious, there is a German book
which is written for beginners with various *BSDs. This might be a
start.
www.amazon.de:
BSD mit Methode.
Gebundene Ausgabe - 856 Seiten (1998) 
Computer u. Literatur, M.; ISBN: 3932311310

Besides that, most unix books will do fine. You should look for a book
on system administration and a book for normal unix commands.
