Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court could require a German-language appeal to be translated into French despite Article 17(2) Cst./FR.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A party may file a pleading before the cantonal court in either official language of Fribourg, regardless of the language of the challenged decision; the translation requirement was unlawful.
Extrahierte Begründung
Article 17(2) Cst./FR grants a general right to address canton-wide authorities in the chosen official language. It overrides conflicting earlier procedural rules, and the preparatory work shows no reservation for procedural laws.
