At best, it would just create more problems for the admins to deal with.
At worst, I don't even want to go there.

To be honest, the fact that they're speaking other languages isn't the problem. It's the fact that a lot of the time, it's over system chat, and thus everyone in system sees it.


A better solution would be to set up the automated message system to display a message saying something along the lines of "The official language of system chat is English. Please keep text in all other languages to local, group and private channels whenever possible," and then have the same phrase repeated in some of the most common non-english languages, like German, Russian, etc.

This is because most people aren't fluent in more than one language, and might not be able to understand the message if it is in English only.

The fact that someone speaks another language is no reason to try to drive them away, intentionally or otherwise.
