Unfortunately, they seem to have removed the category option for showing only books in a certain language and you will essentially have to know which title/author you want to buy before you can see if the German language of the book is available.

Kobo lets you choose between English, French, and German for the website itself. If you type a word (any word) into the search you will then see (on the screen that results) that you have a choice to refine your search according to languages. Currently your choices are English, French, German, or Spanish. If you leave the search box blank and click on it, you have those same choices appear and then can refine your results by language.
To the best of my knowledge, the only books I will see are the books that have German language rights available in Canada. If a Publisher selling in Canada has not purchased the German rights, those books will not be available. If the Publisher has not sent the German book to Kobo, youwon't get it either.
I don't know, btw, if you will get something different if you put either or both a German address or a German credit card in your Kobo account. At one time, the country of the credit card established your country for Kobo's purposes.
