Thanks, Jack...
In fact it's Japanese...
i found where this firmware came from!
it's from http://QVnet.casio.co.jp
i used http://babelfish.altavista.com to roughtly understand what's
written there....
to download firmware you need to register over HTTPS (secure) ...
wich does not work with babelfish - so i stopped my investigations
there
the firmware 1.01 was claimed as "unofficial" somewhere in this
thread - it is official!
just not known to all casio around the world (maybe because they
don't speak japanese ?).
some comments to the installation procedure:
the .exe is just a self-extracting-archive...
you can start it locally and it will produce a directory with
a japanese readme.txt and a qv-4000.bin
then you copy the .bin to the rootdisk of you CF-Card
(MD is bad for camera-power... so i suggest to avoid it)
i did the copy over USB without use of an external CF-interface...
then turn the camera off,
hold the 4-way-key pressed,
turn on into play and follow the on-display instructions...
after this my camera greeting was in japanese
the installed languages were japanese, english, spanish
then i copied the correct language file from CD to rootdir of my
CF-Card (erased the firmware .bin by the way)
power off ->
hold menu button ->
power on to playback ->
follow the on-screen text
my camera is fine and speaks german again
