Question:
If two people speak in a language the third does not understand, is that among the private conversation that is prohibited?

Answer:
The hadith is general; no,
When there are three people, two should not converse together to the exclusion of the thirdإذا كنتم ثلاثة فلا يتناجى اثنان دون الثالث
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1169
this is general for all languages. One raises his voice without excess, because if he speaks softly, it is thought that... but if he raises his voice, it is fine.
