If the comand jEdit uses to call lilypond is parsed by a shell,

LANG= lilypond ...

or

LANG=de lilypond ...

should work.  If it doesn't, set the environment variable LANG
permanently in 'My Computer' (the icon showing a computer on desktop)
properties.

If German messages show incorrectly in Windows console, try to prefix
lilypond command line with

chcp 65001 &&

to enable UTF-8.  This trick has been reported by a French user; I don't
know how it works in jEdit.
