The main language of prayer in synagogues is Hebrew, which is used in all services. English or other local languages are also sometimes used in Reform and Conservative synagogues.
Even in Orthodox synagogues, the Rabbi will sometimes give a speech or sermon in English or whatever the local language is.
Any socializing after the service is always done in the local language of the country where the synagogue is located.
