No, contributions and attached documents may be written in any official EU language. Depending the audience you want to reach, it is recommended to use one of the "Working languages".
What audience is the PS-OSS site intended for?
Although we welcome a broad audience, the PS-OSS site is intended for IT managers, planners and policy makers working mainly for public sector organisations in Europe. In general however, it will be of interest to anyone with an interest in the use of open source software in public administrations across the EU.
