Which Languages Must GPSR Information Use in Luxembourg?

The GPSR — Regulation (EU) 2023/988 — expects safety information, warnings and instructions to reach consumers in a language they can easily understand. Luxembourg is unusual because it has three official languages: French, German and Luxembourgish. In practice, French and German are both widely used for consumer-facing information, so providing GPSR safety details in French and German is the safe approach for the Luxembourg market.

Why More Than One Language

The Regulation does not name a specific language; it ties the requirement to comprehension. In a multilingual country like Luxembourg, relying on a single language risks leaving some consumers unable to understand the warnings that matter. French and German are the most commonly used written languages for consumer information, which is why offering both is prudent rather than choosing just one.

What to Do in Your Shop

• Provide warnings, instructions and safety notices in French and German for products sold into Luxembourg.
• Apply the same care to Article 19 listing information shown on your product pages.
• Plan multilingual content into your PrestaShop templates rather than translating after the fact.

Language expectations are a national matter and can be applied qualitatively, so treat this as practical guidance rather than a fixed rule. For the wider picture, see our overview of the GPSR and our complete GPSR guide.
