That's really reaching. A German company should have no trouble selling to France and vice versa. Two languages gets you a market as large as Japan's.

Or forget France and translate the manuals into English or Spanish.

Europe trades heavily within Europe as well as the rest of the world. Y'all would not believe the sheer number of languages commercial "stuff" comes with these days here in Europe. Do American companies filter out all these many "foreign" languages on product manuals and guarantees? Just curious. I would imagine Spanish was at least as necessary on the instruction manuals for home produced goods.

It's illegal to import a CE (quality) marked item into any EU country
without instructions which can be understood in that country, In practice
everything has instructions in all EU languages and for good measure
surrounding countries as well. My pressure cooker has instructions in 21
languages and three alphabets.

That's a good example of a regulation that kills off businesses in Europe.

You didn't use "y'all" correctly.

I haven't seen any product manuals written in Chamicuro yet, you katujkana.

I wouldn't characterize that as necessary. Helpful to some illegals, perhaps.

Welcome to the paperless society.

He usually uses it incorrectly as a singular but on this occasion I would
interpret it as correct since you can assume the plural.

I just changed an LED bulb in the bathroom. That had details in 28
languages and 5 alphabets.
But it all fitted on the back of the packet.

You misused "fitted."

"Y'all" can be used when speaking to a representative of a business or organization, to a group of people assembled in a location for a common reason or perhaps during a conference call. It doesn't work on USENET or when communicating specifically to one person.

Past participle of fit. If I hadn't destroyed the packaging by tearing it
opens I would have used fits.
