Of course, you can use just about any language's keyboard and
character set in any version of XP. (Control/Regional and Language
Options, Language tab, details)

You may need a Windows CD although German to English/U.S. might not be
quite as big a deal as when you install support for an ideogram
language or right-to-left language in a Latin alphabet version of
Windows.

You might not be able to get dialogs and help files for standard
Windows progies in English but it might not be that big a deal.
