I changed the language from German to English and noticed that there are color names not translated.

I believe that is by design if you have already used labels, in order not to break anything. A label is saved as text in the label field, so if you already used the red label while you were using Lightroom in German, then you'll have photos with 'Rot' in that field. If Lightroom would translate the label names now that you changed to English, then those images would no longer have a red label because that would now require the word 'Red' instead of 'Rot'.

Hello. You can solve this issue with the following steps: You have to be in the Library Module - go to Metadata - Color Label Set - Edit - then rename all of the names to the needed language in Images, Folders, Collections - Press to Change. That's it. You don't even need to restart Lightroom))) Have a great time))
