I have never been able to reproduce this on any Mac I’ve tried on. I’m not sure why the app would open in German. Has anyone here encountered an issue like this before?

Have your affected users verify that the system language is exactly "English" and not a country-specific variant such as "English (U.K.)". Or, if it is a country-specific variant, that plain "English" is also in the list below that. Ideally, they'd share a screenshot of the Language & Region pane of System Preferences. Or the output of "defaults read -g AppleLanguages".
As a test, you could have them do "defaults write your.bundle.id.here AppleLanguages -array en" to see if that fixes it. To restore things to normal (a.k.a. broken), they'd do "defaults delete your.bundle.id.here AppleLanguages".
Regards,
Ken
