Is that merely 'in the presence of' or 'in the company of'? If it's the latter then yes it is indeed bad manners, but if it's the former then why on earth shouldn't they speak their own language amongst themselves? If I was in France with my English family I would speak to them in English not in French even though I would speak to French people in French.
