Hi Lutz, We do not have language changing built-in to speakup for any synth except the Apolo 2. You should however, be able to find the command sequence string to switch the Keynote into German mode and send it through the synth_direct file in the /proc/speakup directory. The Keynote has never quite been supported as well as the other synths because I don't have any of them to test with. If you do not know the command string or can't find it let me know and I'll try to locate it. I have a very limited command set for the Keynote line of synths. BTW, your English is just fine.
