That is just nonsense. I have never heard anyone saying that.Sledging was far, far worse in the late 70s than it is now

Just because it worked for you doesn't mean it will work for everyone. Also when getting into this kind of argument, please dont take things personal. No one is calling your parents/teachers 'idiot', it is simply a mis-representation of my point. Verbal bullying is as worse as physical and should not be tolerated or ignored.Not a physical bully, a verbal one. And it does work, I've done it and so have many of my friends. If someone starts talking 'smack' to me I ignore it and 9 times out of ten they give up. If you'd like to call the people who raised me 'idiots', that's your own 'sledge' toward me.
It is not very hard to figure out, you know in almost all the test matches one of the umpires(3rd/4th) is local, commentators are local. Keep the stump mic on, as simple as that.Hmm...how are they gonna monitor sledging in other languages? By many accounts, the subcontinental players sledge in other languages, such as Urdu and Hindi? Monitoring 'sledging' in an international tongue is one thing; monitoring 'sledging' in a national language or even a local dialect is another entirely.

That may (not definitely, particularly if they're speaking in dialect) help deal with the issue in those LOTE-speaking cricketer's home country, but it will be harder to decipher what they're saying if they're touring non-subcontinental countries, where nobody would be familiar with the language. So the problem may be a touch harder to solve than you think.It is not very hard to figure out, you know in almost all the test matches one of the umpires(3rd/4th) is local, commentators are local.

Doesn't a sledge lose its purpose if its in a language the victim can't understand anyway? If I had a bowler sledge me in Afrikaans, It'd simply fly over my head..That may (not definitely, particularly if they're speaking in dialect) help deal with the issue in those LOTE-speaking cricketer's home country, but it will be harder to decipher what they're saying if they're touring non-subcontinental countries, where nobody would be familiar with the language.
