Well. I have to fix a heap of bugs reported by many users. Most of them are really annoying. To be honest I just don't have enough time to pay enough attention to some rare bugs reported by single users, nobody else have reported about German interface issue.
My mistake is I promised and didn't do. Sorry for that.

You could fix this issue even by yourself.

In case of octane camera you should use camera white balance setting.
Regarding camera clipping/ Unfortunately this is a price of another bug fixing (any shape or dummy object were hided in case of octane camera using). I can't make both working at the moment.

great...can't wait to check it out !!
