When they are in a closed place they have an earpiece and there are translators who translate everything they say very precisely (diplomatic language). But when they meet in a less formal context Merkel and Sarkozy speak a combination between "globish" (global english : used for trade and business at a global level) and "conglish" (continental english, which is a european non-british english - some people call it "european pidgin" or "european creole" : it is often used by members of the European Parliament to communicate in a simple and direct way). Globish and conglish don't require a high level in english and are tinged with other european languages.

I guess they both speak a bit of English or some sort of local english common to both countries. Certainly not Gerfrench.
