First off, I apologise if my comments do not follow standard "format"

I have this same issue, album search (Casiopea - Eyes of the Mind)
Spotify search URI https://open.spotify.com/album/2Eo41CrtOXyp3JPkKK76T9
The search results show the track titles are in Japanese, the error message is "track not found for isrc jpal00900620" - this is just for one song.
However when I use Spotiflac for mobile on Adroid, the track titles are in English and downloading does not pose any errors.

I have also tried to download albums with Chinese names and tracks the same ISRC error is experienced.
Name of album 放心不下
Name of Artiste 黃小琥 (Tiger Huang). Artiste name in Chinese is used for search.
Spotify search URI https://open.spotify.com/album/2S5pZMu4Li0WeJpcVCNx1Y

Environment:

SpotiFLAC Version: 7.0.9
OS: Linux 6.18.8-1-MANJARO (Arch based)
Location: SG (Switched to JP - same error)

Note:
Spotiflac Mobile also can't download non-English tracks

I think the issue is not about the location of albums/tracks, but the downloading of non-English tracks. Unless I'm utterly mistaken, can you explain your two replies? Much appreciated. Thank you.
