You cannot prevent 2 people having a personal conversation in a different language from English.
But for the purposes of the business, it is fine to require English, otherwise how do you collaborate?
Now let's imagine a watercooler chat. 2 colleagues talking in whatever language, and a 3rd one walks up, gets a drink and now is by default excluded. Legally it's all good, but in my opinion, that 3rd person will feel left out.
