In countries where it is common to translate the foreign film titles into their local language, like in Germany and France, is the film title also modified into the local language? (I mean the title used in the film, not the cover).


In the theatres, yes. But on DVD most of the time it's the original title.

Agree that most times on DVD it's the original title that's shown, but both exists.

Somethin I don't like is: if they show not the German title, but a different title that is also not matching to original title.

This mainly depends with what localities the same discs are shared. For example I do own a Swiss German DVD (with a German cover) where the title in the film on screen is Italian but the original title and the included original language track are French (Quebec). This is because the same disc is used for the Italian, French, and German speaking part of Switzerland.
