Is there a way I could localize terms in my bibtex entries?
example:
note = {to appear}
I use a bibtex file for articles in english and german and it would be nice to replace the "to appear" in the bibliography with a localized string.

One possibility is to use biblatex. Quoting from p. 43-44 of its documentation:
If [the option "clearlang"] is enabled, biblatex will automatically clear the language field of all entries whose language matches the babel language of the document (or the language specified explicitly with the language option) in order to omit redundant language specifications.
Note that the "clearlang" option is enabled by default. Minimal example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
% Alternative A: Default behaviour ("language" field cleared)
\usepackage{biblatex}
% Alternative B: Clearing of "language" field disabled
% \usepackage[clearlang=false]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{Aut10a,
author = {Author, A.},
year = {2010},
title = {Alpha},
language = {english},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\nocite{*}
\begin{document}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)

You have a lot of urls the reason why I prefer to set the bibliography ragged right. My example file which now has no problem with your bib data:
\RequirePackage[ngerman=ngerman-x-latest]{hyphsubst}
\documentclass[10pt,compsoc, a4paper]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\begin{document}
Of course this isn’t an actual quote but I’m going to use cite anyway.\cite{kelly_printing_2011}
Awesome, right?\cite{warnecke_einfuhrung_2006},\cite{schnitker_stereolithographie_2008}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran-de}
\begingroup
\RaggedRight
\bibliography{foo2}
\endgroup
\end{document}
However, some urls are still problematic, you have to add some more possible breakpoints. See documentation for package url or search here.

biblatexprovides apubstatefield for publication states, so I suggest to use this field instead of thenotefield. For localized strings, use the\bibstringmacro. See section 4.8 of the manual for details about\bibstringand section 4.9.2.11 for the publication states defined by default. If you really nead an additionaltoappearstate, here's how to do it:
