Dear querist,

 

Ordinarily the language of the documents should be what is understood by person making or signing it but there is no law such that otherwise document will be invalid.

 

In your case what witness has to say is important for now if they say content of the WILL was explained to Testator then he signed then will be treated as Valid.
