Just caught it yesterday. Very useful, lots of serious info about what to do in case ... well, in case something not-so-good were to happen.
What struck me as a bit odd, however, is that the non-English version that followed was highly redacted, so the non-English speakers might not realize which chutes became life rafts and which ones did not, for example.

That was also the case with the previous US Spanish demo. I have been on a few flights where the aircraft had to wait to take off before the demo was completed. I'm sure they want to keep it as succinct as possible. AFAIK, a foreign language version isn't a regulatory requirement, but providing the basics is a great idea. Should anything go wrong, those that don't speak English will just follow the actions of the remaining passengers anyway.
