Prosecution of people speaking their native languages

Hello devs,

is there any kind of FAQ where I can read whether people who speak other languages than english can be prosecuted?
I fear that people start speaking their native language when being with 2 friends in a 5 man dungeon.
This bothered me greatly on Feenix.
They could not be bothered to write in english.
I mean sure there are some chinese or russians who REALLY didnt speak english but when it's just a bit rudimentary with syntax just like myself people should be punished when being too lazy to write in english.

Have a great day. :)

write in whatever language you want in your guild or whisper
but keep it english in global/trade and party chat, if i see somebody typing gibberish i just start spamming in russian/german/french/japanese

while we are at it, just publicly execute the bastards!

it's real easy, you can ask them to speak a language you understand or ignore them and just run the dungeon.
or leave and join another group.

Look at you with your fancy reasoning skills and all! The most fun with witch hunting is the burning!

This thread has my approval. If you aren't using the master language, why are you bothering to speak with your fingers?

English motherfucker do you speak it?
If the answer is no then dont speak at all. Server language is english so i assume everyone knows enough to communicate. If you cant speak english then dont join my groups.

I took a look at the FAQ post in the Announcement section and came up with this.
post link - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3
post quote - "English, english, and english. No other language shall be allowed on forum and public channels. It's an important rule to us, and we'll be very attentive to the behaviour of our players regarding this rule."

So I guess if you're talking about Zone chat, OOC, Shouts, or similar chat, it looks like English is expected to be used. If you're in a guild or a private channel or in an adventuring group where everyone's fine with something else, it won't be a problem.

Honest, I feel kinda bad for the French playing on the server in that their native language where the server is hosted is set to the side for English being used instead. But as a USA player, my meager skills with Spanish and German wouldn't be helping me out at all.

I have never witnessed a public execution and/or burning.
However your post makes me curious!
Burn the witches!!!
