language restricted chat
When I mod I am told to time out ppl that post messages in other languages because the mods dont know what it says. It would be helpful if streamers could select what languages they want to allow in chat and twitch would automatically disable characters from other languages so they cant even be typed in chat in the first place

Upvoting this one in particular, because like you say, I really only allow English and maybe basic Spanish in my chat, just for ease of moderation. Would handily squash edge cases from spammers, like gouriki points out, too

You would think it would be easy for chat to have a switch to restrict text input to the languages in the Tags. English (my default), and sometimes I could add (for example) Japanese and German. With a switch in place, it would NOT permit Russian, Chinese, French, etc characters unless they also exist in my Tagged languages. Why bother pre-setting every streamer in their Default language if we CAN'T restrict the language?
As a moderator THIS IS CRUCIAL. My clients are inundated with **** like:
