Trouble viewing a German-language text

Hi, I'm a newbie here, so not sure if this is the correct place to post this question. I recently discovered Calibre, and love its premise. I can view a series of English-language books in the viewer, but when I try a German-language book, the text is unintelligible. I have set the language (by editing meta-data) to 'German,' but this does not help. The text opens fine in the Kindle for PC app, but I want it in Calibre, if possible. Is there some simple setting that I am overlooking?

Thanks for any help!

This will likely be a fixed layout "print replica" azw4 book. These are not really viewable in calibre or naything other than amaon softwre. it has nothing to do with th ebook language.
