may be written in any language, by hand or by any other means.
2. The testator shall declare in the presence of two witnesses and of a person authorized
to act in connection with international wills that the document is the testator's will and
that the testator knows the contents thereof. The testator need not inform the
witnesses, or the authorized person, of the contents of the will.
3. In the presence of the witnesses, and of the authorized person, the testator shall sign
the will or, if the testator has previously signed it, shall acknowledge that signature.

the witnesses, at the direction of the testator, to sign the testator's name if the
authorized person makes note of this on the will, but it is not required that any person
sign the testator's name for the testator.
