This one works:
  <navbar:button id=suche
                 url="$(ROOT)/search/<en: index.en.html>"
                 txt="<de: Suche><en: Search>"
                 img=navbar-suche-<protect pass=3><en: en-></protect>*.gif>

But i prefer this syntax:
  <navbar:button id=suche
                 url="<lang:star: $(ROOT)/search/index.*.html>"
                 txt="<de: Suche><en: Search>"
                 img=navbar-suche-<lang:star: *>-*.gif>

In this case, you have to change the filenames of the German version
to index.de.html, navbar-suche-de-std.gif,....

An alternative is to define one navbar by language and write
  <en><navbar:render name=main-en></en>
  <de><navbar:render name=main-de></de>
