"s only works when the language is \de (\german)

what does \show\SS report? 

Plain tex says: 

  \chardef\ss="19

so you can try \chardef\SS="19 (just try not stick to it) 

and (I cannot type ss here, so imagine q to be ss): 

\catcode`q=\active \def q{\char"19\relax}

At least this should give you some cues.
