Documents in other swiss national languages, how is it at EPFL?

I applied for a master at ETH Zurich (ETHZ) and recently got an email saying that my application documents were incomplete, and a deadline to resubmit. When I looked at it, the only issue was that I had not uploaded my CV in German or English. It was in French. This is especially confusing to me since High School diploma, and bachelor diploma, can be uploaded in French or Italian. This led me wondering how it is at EPFL?

Do Ticinesi and Swiss-German need to translate their CV in English or French when applying at EPFL? This seems so pointless since German/French/Italian/Rumantsch are all Swiss national languages, and EPFL is a Swiss federal institute, not cantonal.

So Romands and Ticinesi have to translate their CV in English or German? That seems so pointless since German/French/Italian/Rumantsch are all Swiss national languages, and ETH Zurich is a Swiss federal institute, not cantonal.
