wheniwasin, the ATPL theory course, including the revision/consolidation weeks, can be completed remotely. You're free to choose which competent authority administers the exams. The only condition is that all papers are done under a single authority. Thereafter, you are free to choose which EASA member state issues the licence. The state of licence issue must hold your medical records, meaning the state that issues the medical certificate will be the state of licence issue. The medical and licence records may be transferred to another state, though it will cost three to four figures and may take one or two months to complete. The competent authority for professional licences in Germany, LBA, is notorious for being inefficient. Popular choices include Austrocontrol and Transport Malta. Austrocontrol has established numerous ATPL exam centres across Europe and several more may be found overseas.

I have no idea what language proficiencies are required for a German visa. If you wish to hold a German general radiotelephone operator certificate without speaking German, you must apply for the AZF E. The requirements for this are set out in the German regulations, FlugfunkV, appendix 1, section 5. Bundesnetzagentur publishes the exam questions and answers here.
