English only rule

[notdoinit]

I have seen the English only rule in place in WSOP rules and WPT rules and I presume it is place elsewhere as well.

When there is an event in a country where English is not the primary language, does the rule still apply?

I would say no, as the whole idea behind the rule is so that everyone speaks the primary language IMO and no one has an advantage by speaking something else.

2. Official Language
The English-only rule will be enforced in the United States during the play of hands. English will be used in international play along with the local or native language.
