You could ask the seller, but for instruction manuals - I don't think it
would much matter.

What they said. Since instruction booklets use pictures, not words, I don't
see a different language being much of a problem.

It could: more and more sets have an introduction and infos distilled during
the build.

Which, if the European ones are similar to the US ones, have that intro in several
languages, so I'd assume purchased one of those from a European country would
still have that info in English.

Check the instructions from TLG: FR, DE, ES, IT, ZHSI & then North America and
International.
The intro text and the tidbits are in the corresponding languages, not a one-size-doesn’t-anybody.

Most European market sets are in multiple languages. Take a look on the back
of a box, there are about a dozen languages so one product does the whole of
the European (and further) region.

Yes, you appear to be correct. I'll go ahead and order and fingers crossed
its not totally foreign.
Thanks all for your help
