Geolocation: German State/ Province huge "Unknown" entries because of wrong languages (db-ip.com) #19329

Description

@utrautmann

The Region widget for State/Province shows a lot of unknown entries, although city entries could be localized.
The free database is used:

The screenshots show the big difference between localized visitors for Regions and for Cities.

Current Behavior

I have checked this database resp. the CSV file from db-ip.com with the entries for State/Province.
The State/Province entry is sometimes for German regions in German language (Baden-Württemberg) or sometimes in English language (Lower Saxony, Hesse, Bavaria).

It seems to be that whenever the German provinces are in English language in the db-ip.com-Database, there will be an Region entry "Unknown" for the visitor in Matomo .

That might be a content related error at dp-ip.com, but my question is: how does Matomo work here?
What does Matomo need and are there any workarounds?
Needs Matomo the provinces in the language of the city?
