Only in official communications, if it is work related (short of the foreign language being related to the work at hand), or essential for morale or mission. Personal communications in one’s native tongue is perfectly acceptable and SHOULD NOT be ordered against. Contact your local legal department if you need clarification or face action for using non-English language in a non-official capacity.
