I'm translating a Belgian press release from French into English. In the article, there is a link to a Belgian website. The link is not in English, so obviously no use to a monolingual reader of English.

I am adding a few words in brackets before the link to say that it's only available in French and Dutch.

Should I say "Available in French and Dutch only" or "Available in French or Dutch only"?

I'm leaning towards "and", but I can't explain why. Just as a native speaker and it "feels" better to me. But I can't find any concrete rules stating which is correct, or are both OK?

    It is available in both languages, so you use and. If you would tell someone to follow the link to either the Dutch or French version, you would use or: "click here to read the article in Dutch or French".

Yes, French and Dutch is correct. The and indicates both are available, or implies you can only select on of the two options.
