Hi,
is it possible to change the language of the Location addresses to my home country language - German in my case?

It should already do that, if your system "locale" is set to German. The
output of 'photini --version' should tell you what locale it's using.

I just tested it by setting my locale to German, placing a photograph in
Venice (Italy), then looking up the address. I got "Venedig, Venezia,
Venetien, Italien" as expected.

The service that provides the addresses may not have German versions of
every location in the world though.

I just tried your coordinates and got "Slowenien". Try updating Photini
to 2024.8.2 and testing it again.
