Holding at Tegucigalpa, Honduras one day I was put into holding in the clouds at 10,000 ft in our 757. I hear our controller talking in Spanish to another Spanish pilot behind us I guess clearing him for the approach.

Unfortunately my holding pattern is on his approach so as I see him on a collision course with us with our TCAS when I turn inbound said why do you have another aircraft at our altitude approaching our holding pattern. Lots of spanish and he climbs above us and they clear us for the approach. After that I never descended into the clouds there until I was cleared for the approach. Bilingual communications means no situational awareness for ICAO pilots.
