Well, when looking up merchants in the manual, they are not listed by nation. If, for example you see a merchant with a british merchant flag, you don't go to the section of the manual showing British flags, there is one with no flag simply called merchants/handelschiffe.
Merchants are put into this section because they could appear under the flag of any nation.
The sections identified by flags only show warships and naval vessels.
So, essentially, you need to scroll through the manual until you find not the British category, but the merchants category. You then click on this and the list of merchants should appear.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure if that's very clear, but hope it helps!
EDIT: yes, exactly as said in the above post!
