j gave more information on the question:
So windows 7 seems to have one keyboard layout for every application.

If I change the sikuli-ide-layout to German, I always get this:

[error] Fehlermeldung: Traceback (most recent call last):

Invalid key code

If Sikuli-IDE has US layout and the program Sikuli types into has German
layout,  there are things like ü instead of a colon.

If Sikuli-IDE and the program Sikuli types into both have US layout, the
colons can be typed normally.

I also found out that the problem appears with only one colon, too.

Still looking for a nice workaround that does neither include change
keyboard layouts all the time and nor paste(). Suggestions are welcome.
