Does anyone know whether there is a difference between a
US OS with a local language OS pack (such as German)and a
German Operating System?

I'm looking to ensure that my application is properly
tested prior to release...

Thanks!

Lots of difference. The true German version of XP will have
everything enumerated in German whereas the US version with the German
language pack installed will not. Suggest you test your application
with both.

The German version system will be a separate build of the code, with all
internal text in German, so you cannot be certain of things that do not
go through formal API working in the same way. Hence the notes you
sometimes see with Hotfixes and upgrades like service Packs that they
are for the English version only
