The European Union also has a CV Format, already translated in the 25 (?) European Languages. You first have to enter your resume once (I mainly copy the information I already update on LinkedIn) https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/editors/de/cv/compose and then you get a PDF+XML document which you can send to companies or re-upload to the EU website in order to update it. It's very handy and would be surely easy to adapt.

There is nothing wrong with Europass CV. In EU one cannot go wrong with it, although it's terribly space inefficient. Check available LaTeX Europass CV templates on the web/github. Using interchangeably clean, academic-style LaTeX template and Europass CV LaTeX template haven't noticed any difference in response rates.
Noone in Europe ever used that thing. Don't advise.
Not only, it's also a awful format generally.
