I can't find it right now but I believe this is a duplicate. Your note on the potential solution doesn't apply as we're not using their API, all the geocoding is handled locally from a downloaded dataset. |

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.
The feature
As-is situation: When a location is reverse geocoded using Geonames, the returned language is English no matter which local / langauge is configured.
As you can see in the following screenshot, the language of the UI is set to German, but the reverse geocoded countries are in English.

To-be situation: Country, city, etc. information recevied from Geonames is shown in the selected language of the server.
Solution idea: Use the "lang" parameter of Geonames (see here) and receive localized names.
