As you can see below, when tagging with Deezer plugin, it seem like since I'm located in a german speaking country, the API responds with german names for Various Artists releases. I assume we don't have a setting to ensure accessing the API "in english" ;-) Also note: My OS language is actually set to english! So it must be something with the location / the IP I'm coming from....

  ≠ Artist: Various Artists -> Verschiedene Interpreten
  * Album: Jazz #1's

Without further ado: If anyone wants to dig around in that plugin and point me somewhere, I will fix it. I see two possible ways:

• Make it configurable via config.yaml, defaulting to english, no matter what the local language is.
• Hardcoding it to english (my preferred option since we don't have that anywhere else in beets -> streamlining behaviour is key!)
