Don't worry, that should be the right place. The strings are translated on Launchpad and then every once in a while the latest translations are collected and added to the software packages. (I'm not familiar with that part of the process though, so I don't know the frequency or the details.) What I do know, is that I managed to find the directory with the various translations for the kubuntu-slideshow in the source code [1]. And from what I can see, among these are the german file which seems to contain translations for most the strings [2]. So if they don't show up it might look like something is wrong somewhere.

If the rest of the installation was in german as expected but the slideshow was in the original language, it might be something to do when switching to the slideshow. When I get the time, I'll run the Vivid installation in a virtual machine to see if I can reproduce the issue (and also see whether it affects other languages)
