Question regarding language of documents

Hi guys, I'm planning to apply in Munich embassy. I can't find proper information about the language of documents.

Is it accepted to upload documents like bank statements, employment contract, registration certificate and pay slips in German language?

It would be a major pain to translate all of these officially. How did you guys manage in your home countries? Thanks for ur answers

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry is about whether documents in German, such as bank statements and employment contracts, are accepted at the Munich embassy for a Thai visa application. Responses indicate that while officially only English and Thai are accepted, the German documents may be accepted unofficially. It is advisable to check directly with the embassy and consider submitting original German documents along with AI-generated translations in English.

Officially English and Thai are accepted, unofficially German documents at the German Thai consulate may be accepted, or they will request a translation. You could try sending the original documents plus AI translation into English and see how it goes from there. Suggest you include very brief cover letter to explain what you're sending.
