Safety related instructions for the user should be in the vernacular under 73/23/EEC.
There is more latitude on language for safety-related instructions for an 'installer'. However if installer's instructions have life-threatening consequences you reduce legal exposure by using a widely-understood language of your target country.

Specifically if you CE label in accordance with 89/336/EEC (EN 61326) and 73/23/EEC (1010-1). In reviewing the archives I could only find mention that the manufacturer is to supply a version of the manual which is agreed upon in that country and English is most common. Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
