Will the Vientiane embassy accept bank statements in English from my bank if I provide a balance report instead of monthly statements?

ORIGINAL POSTER
My bank just told me they cant give me monthly statements in English. However, they can give me a report of the current amount of money on my account in English. So I was thinking of asking them to give me one at the end of September, another one at the end of October and another one at the end of November. I plan to apply in early December. Do you think the Vientiane embassy will accept this?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is concerned about their bank's inability to provide monthly statements in English, suggesting a workaround of obtaining balance reports in English at the end of each month. They seek advice on whether these would suffice for a visa application at the Vientiane embassy.

You can self-translate the bank statements, highlight income deposits and submit them along with the current balance reports.

 You could just submit the translated bank statements, like many do or submit both. I did both cos Taipei would not accept the balance certificate by itself.
