EN 60950 requires that the safety warnings be in a language suitable for the 
country of destination.  That seems reasonable to me.  If the user can't read 
the warnings what use are they?

That would defeat the purpose of the EU Directives, if every country were
to insist on all warnings and other labels on the product being in the home
language.  That is why they use all them symbols that we don't understand
(yet).  The purpose of the Directives is to promote trade between the
member states, not to promote product safety.  Those what aren't
intelligent enough to understand the symbols or be multilingual, really
have no right to expect to live.

Happy New Year.
