      Original language
Besides the languages referred to in the answer to question 5.3 above, Article 23(4) of the ECSPR provides that a CSP can, in addition, arrange for the translation of a KIIS in any other language as long as the translation accurately reflects the content of the KIIS that was originally drawn up in one of the languages mentioned in Article 23(2). This provision applies mutadis mutandis to the KIIS at platform level.
However, pursuant to Article 27(3) marketing communications can only be prepared in (i) at least one of the official languages of the Member State in which the marketing communications are disseminated or (ii) in a language accepted by the NCA of that Member State.
