Thanks! I am trying to do that. 2 problems:

- when I save amsbook.layout to ~/.lyx/layouts/amsbook-de.layout and 
change the 2 lines in that file that say "book (AMS)" to "book (AMSde),
then tell LyX to reconfigure, and restart lyx,
then the layout shows up in the pull-down menu for document class as 
"Unavailable: book (AMSde)".

- Where are all those English words I want to translate? Not in 
amsbook.layout (except "Theorem" and "Exercises"). This file imports 
lots of others:

Input stdsections.inc

(and other names instead of "stdsections" too). 
Where do I find those files? 

And do I have to edit them system-wide
or is there one way to do it with a normal non-privileged user account?

Thanks for the hint; I just did that. Although, the latex export file 
looks exactly the same except that instead of 

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,ngerman]{amsbook}

it now says:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,ngerman,ngerman]{amsbook}

When do as you say and also remove the \usepackage, \selectlanguage, 
then I still get ngerman twice. Maybe because my document default language 
is also ngerman.
