Why CDPR and not GOG?
It seems someone made a community wishlist for it, but not many people voted so far, so let's change that.

Nah, I think they should do it in Latin, make it more authenticate and educational.

Edit: Before Jmich or someone pipes up, yes I am aware Greek and other languages were more widely spoken at the time, it was a joke!

Well, that would require that a) one exist b) someone possesed a copy and could provide it to GOG and c) GOG staff could convince the developer/publisher/right owner to let them publish that version in their store. And btw, CDPR is not involved in operations of GOG.com even if they are subsidiaries of same corporate group and reside in same office building (CD Project headquaders) in Warsaw.

No, CDPR and GOG belong to the same parent company.
Before asking CDPR, GOG's sister company which has nothing to do with Caesar 3, you should first ask Activision, since none of their games are available on GOG in any other language than English.

GOG is from CDProjekt. Not the game studio CDProjekt Red. That is all.

CD Projekt RED is not the developer or publisher of that game so there isn't anything they could do about this. If you were asking for additional language support for one of the 4 "The WItcher" games, or their upcoming Gwent or Cyberpunk 2077 games then you'd be talking to the right folks though. Their parent company "CD Projekt" which is also the parent company of GOG has nothing to do with adding language support to any video games either however. I don't believe GOG.com creates new language support from scratch for any games in the catalogue and I'm not sure they'd have the technical ability to do so on their own from scratch either, and probably not the legal rights either.

The correct place to ask about new language support for any particular game is to talk directly to the publisher of the game if the game is not currently available anywhere in the requested language. If the game is actually available in a particular language but just not the GOG version, then file a request for that language support for the game in the GOG community wishlist (link at bottom of web page) and contact someone from GOG such as JudasIscariot to point out that a version of the given game does exist with the language support you are requesting. If that is the case, and GOG can negotiate with the publisher to obtain the alternative languages somehow and distribute them, then they will try to do so. It is not uncommon for them to update games with new language support in this manner quite regularly as seen in the "What did just update?" thread in the forums.

But the game studio CD Projekt RED, developers of The Witcher games definitely have nothing to do with this, nor the parent company. :)

Anyhow, hopefully this steers you in the right direction.

Someone in the Caesar series forum here provided a link to a German language pack (though I have no idea if it is a fan translation, or a conversion from the official German release). The link is below:

https://www.gog.com/forum/caesar_series/caesar_3_german_language_pack
The thing is...localizations have their own copyright hell....Lots of time they have nothing to do with the devs, but with the publishers for certain countries. Many of the companies that worked on localizations are long gone, with the rights for the translations in process... Which makes it very hard to track who owns what and reaquiring those rights.
