Well, I guess these are not changed to anything, there is just no translation available for the english text.

A possible solution is not to start with a emty template, but start with the german .po. 

That way all the strings will be german exept the strings that you translate/change.

That way no english text should ever be visible, unless there is no german translation is available.
