Are the add-ons more complicated to "install" than in Firefox?

No, because "install" means "switch on" rather than "download to your server".

• Have a Hubzilla channel
• Be logged in on the Web interface (as if you had much of a choice)
• Burger menu in the top right corner
• Apps
• Available apps
• Look for the app you need (Pubcrawl, labelled "ActivityPub", should be at the very top)
• Click "Install"
• Enjoy

And what about Hubzilla's translation functions

It doesn't have any.

or German-language communities?

There are no dedicated Hubzilla communities. You simply connect with other German-speaking users, no matter whether they're on Hubzilla or Mastodon or Firefish or Friendica or wherever.

Put "German" as a keyword/tag into your profile (there's a dedicated profile field for that, by the way), and you'll be suggested other German users.

As for German instances, the two biggest hubs are German, and I think most of the top five hubs are German.

As for Hubzilla forums, I only know six:

• a Hubzilla support forum which is practically useless unless you're on Hubzilla (not even sure if it has ActivityPub on)
• two mostly dead Hubzilla support forums which only come to life when a newbie has discovered either of them before the support forum
• one forum for a kind of "inner Hubzilla circle", created to discuss the advancement and improvement of the Hubzilla ecosystem which is therefore only targetted at Hubzilla users again (pretty certain it has ActivityPub off, and it's invite-only, I guess)
• one forum to discuss improving Hubzilla's documentation which is therefore only targetted at Hubzilla users again (pretty certain it has ActivityPub off)
• one OpenSim forum which requires manual membership confirmation, but the admin hasn't logged in in years, so it's impossible to join the forum in the first place
