It is no problem to redirect a category. The problem is, that the pagename of the redirected category will not appear under the target category. Is there any way to solve this problem?

A category redirect only makes sense for cases, in which both, the redirect and its target, are semantically identical. In this case, you should in fact not use the category, which you want to redirect. Instead, use the actual target in your pages!

I operate a Wiki in 3 languages in one, with given categories. At the moment the problem for English or French speaking users is, that they must use the German words for the categories. E.g. one category is Teerose, the English word is Tea and it is difficult for an English user to spell Teerose or other more complicated words.

If the users do not understand the category names, which I guess basically only are single words, in how far does it then help the users to have categories pointing to pages they don't understand? I think the problem is not the mixture of languages in category names, but that different languages are mixed at all. If you have different languages for the content, it is only logical to also have different languages for the categories.
