Currently there is no custom setting for it.

For now, you can try out the following.

Locate your "OrgOdtContentTemplate.xml".  This file is located under the
styles directory.  See the *Messages* buffer for an output like this:

,---- *Messages*

Documents/My Data/src/org-mode/etc/styles/...
| Debug (org-odt): Using styles under c:/Documents and Settings/kjambunathan/My 
Documents/My Data/src/org-mode/etc/styles/
`----

Towards the end of the file, you will find a
`<text:sequence-decls>...</text:sequence-decls>' block.  These are the
OpenDocument "variables" that are used for counting Figures, Tables etc.

Replace text:name="Figure" with text:name="Abbildung".  You can do
likewise for other categories.

Now add the following to your init file.  You can compare the default
setting of `org-odt-category-map-alist' with the value below.  Here
also, you have replaced "Figure" with "Abbildung".

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (eval-after-load 'org-odt
    '(setq org-odt-category-map-alist
           '(("__Table__" "Table" "value")
             ("__Figure__" "Abbildung" "value")
             ("__MathFormula__" "Equation" "text")
             ("__DvipngImage__" "Equation" "value"))))
#+end_src

This should do what you want.  Let me know how it goes.
