European languages? That’s absurd. Your product could be targeting US Spanish speakers, African speakers of French or newly arrived German speaking US citizens. Using language as a determinant is without any legal basis. Having your website in French doesn’t mean you are selling to French citizens. Language doesn’t equal location.
