How to select a different language on a website with selenium

This is an open site with tax information. I access the site, click on 'Abzüge', then the next page is in English. I try to change to German, however, I cannot locate the button. My current code is

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/path-to-my-chromedriver/chromedriver')
driver.get('https://www.estv.admin.ch/estv/de/home/allgemein/steuerstatistiken/fachinformationen/steuerbelastungen/steuerfuesse.html')
elem1 = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Abzüge')
elem1.click()
de = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div[4]/header/div/div[2]/div/button[1]')
de.click()
driver.close()

The Error is NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"/html/body/div/div[4]/header/div/div[2]/div/button[1]"} (Session info: chrome=85.0.4183.102)

I have also tried to find the button by class and by shorter xPaths, but I can never locate the button.

I also need to select some buttons in the main field. So I gave that a try as well, but it does not work as well. My code to select Whole of Switzerland, without changing to German, is

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="LOCATION"]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]')
element.click()

I get the same error, NoSuchElementException.

How would I change the language on the webpage, and how would I select a button in the body?

You can use below code with XPath locator discussed in comments.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get('https://www.estv.admin.ch/estv/de/home/allgemein/steuerstatistiken/fachinformationen/steuerbelastungen/steuerfuesse.html')

WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//nav[@class='nav-lang']//li[contains(., 'IT')]")))

print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//nav[@class='nav-lang']//li[contains(., 'IT')]").text)
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//nav[@class='nav-lang']//li[contains(., 'IT')]").click()
