I am using the following code to translate English to German 

<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi">
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        // Load the Google Transliterate API
        google.load("elements", "1", {
            packages: "transliteration"
        });

        function onLoad() {
            var options = {
                sourceLanguage:
                google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.ENGLISH,
                destinationLanguage:
                [google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.HINDI],
                shortcutKey: 'ctrl+e',
                transliterationEnabled: true
            };

            // Create an instance on TransliterationControl with the required
            // options.
            var control =
            new google.elements.transliteration.TransliterationControl(options);

            // Enable transliteration in the textbox with id
            // 'transliterateTextarea'.
            control.makeTransliteratable(['transliterateTextarea']);


        }
        google.setOnLoadCallback(onLoad);

The code you are using to convert is English to German language but unfortunately google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode./(German) is not supported in the Transliterate API.

All includes all languages supported in the Transliterate API.

var google.elements.transliteration.SupportedDestinationLanguages = {       
    // As support for more languages becomes available, this enum will be
    // automatically updated to include the new languages transparently.
