English / Spanish
Well, speaking from experience with this kind of thing.
I agree that you can't specify what language is spoken on the field, but if the one team that speaks another language knows that next to no one will understand them, they will feel free to talk about what they intend to do. I once had the pleasure of working a four man crew for a 17-18 state final here in FL. One team was from Dade county, and the other was from ST. Lucie county (a little north of Dade).
Without implying any rasism, The Dade team was all hispanic, the other a mix of white & black (found out later, that no one on this team spoke spanish). No one on the crew spoke spanish, Dade getting hammered, guys are getting rowdy, things being yelled all over the field.
Long story short, ended up with 2 coached & 2 players EJ'd from the Dade team, cops called to the field because the EJ'd coaches & players started to get into it with the fans of the other team. I honestly believe that there was malicous play openly being discussed, taunting and other things being said that the crew didn't understand. If we had, I'm sure that there would have been more visits to the parking lot.
