I would start learning your husband's native language seriously. Show some respect by at least trying to learn his culture (by learning the language first). He will be so impressed by your willingness. Let alone your in-laws! And also, it is OKAY to remind (or tell) them occasionally to please translate the jokes in English. Or tell your husband that you like to get involved in the discussions and have him translate it for you once in awhile. \n\nAnd some insider, it is not that easy to have somebody speak in English (or whatever language you both share) every single time when English is not even their native language (this goes to the man. So appreciate him even more).

Keep your wife on your left side and your mother in law on your right...(the right kind of distance for both, and works well for you from what i hear!)...\n\nAs for your father in law, you dont have eyes in the back of your head do you?

I was married to a Japanese National.  Talk about differences. They take things way too literally. had big problems with using the correct words to express myself and vice-versa.

block their #s from your phone. write to your in laws (return reciept) and tell them point blank: this is MY husband NOT your little boy. you've done all the raising of MY HUSBAND that you will ever do. mother in law, if you have a husband then HE needs to provide for you. MY HUSBAND does not need to provide anything for you. that's YOUR husband's job. and to sis: do you have husband? no. then you are your PARENTS responibility. go get a life i got mine. and tell your husband to get a SPINE and use it. he chose you not his sister.

I am currently engaged to a Hatian American (born in Haiti rasied here)he speaks both english,french and creaole perfectly. I very much want our kids to speak creole and french as part of their heritage thats what its all about heritage if your siblings dont feel its important that there choice but as a mother take pride and teach your kids the language and history of your country it's something to be proud of not enough people feel that way so make your decision with that in mind.

Yes it's rude! It would be one thing if her family didn't know any English but if they do she shouldn't make you feel uncomfortable.  I'm hispanic and my bf is american when my family that doesnt speak english talk to me and he's around i translate for both of them so everyones in the conversation and if we start laughing i tell him right away why so not to make him think it's about him.  Tell her to stop and include you in the convo and to translate.

I think it would be rude if you are with adults.  I know your wife means well but I guess it depends on how your wife does it.  I teach students that speak English as a Second Language.  A strategy that we are taught is to not come out and say, that's not how you say it.  What we are supposed to do, since they make many grammar mistakes is to repeat what they have said in the correct way.  For example, if a student says I runned to school this morning, I am supposed to repeat with something like: Oh really, you RAN all the way here? Who ran with you?\nThe kids don't feel bad when they've made the mistake.

You can't, Honey..  No matter what you say or how you say it, they will become defensive and tell themselves that you are just interfering.  You can be there if and when that family member needs you.. and sometimes they will need to talk.  If they ASK your opinion, feel free to give it.. but know that often times, people will ask even though they aren't prepared for the answer.
